[Shivkumar]

Hi folks,

What are the ways to figure out which volume manager has been used to configure hpux 11i boxes ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi,

a few possiblities. the bdf command is the easiest way to find out

example
veritas var volume
/dev/vx/dsk/var 3099287 854378 2182924 29% /var

LVM var volume
/dev/vg00/lvol7 1501651 693497 657988 51% /var

Look at the filesystem output /dev/vx and /dev/vg00.

LVM, vgdisplay -v will give you the info about the volume groups and SAM can be used as a tool (gui)

VXVM, (veritas volume manager),SAM and vmsa can be used to as tools (gui)

cat /etc/fstab

if device file is /dev/dsk/cXtXdX, then the
volume manager 95% is manage by LVM, if device file is /dev/vx~ .. then, the volume manager 100% is manager by veritas vxvm.
