Volume group readonly mode HOWTO

Where I can find any information about VG read only mode. I have tried to search docs.hp.com, but can't find anything.
How it works at all?

Bringing a VG up in read only mode is done with the vgchange command. Do a 'man vgchange' for more information.

If I remeber it correct it is "vgchange -a r /dev/vgxx" thats read only mode.

Hope this helps.

Goodluck.

Yes
#vgchange -a r /dev/vgxx

Will activate the volume in read-only mode.
But you cant make an already active volume read only .You may have to deactivate the volume and then activate the volume again read only.
