pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group
descriptor area and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps (1).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-c, --colon
Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs. N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more control over the
output.
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
-s, --short
Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
-m, --maps
Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.

descriptor area and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps (1).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options and pvs for options given with --columns.
-c, --colon

Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
-m, --maps
Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.
--columns | -C
Display output in columns, the equivalent of pvs (8). See pvs (8) for a description of other options with this form of pvdisplay.

Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell me the effect of the pp size of the volume group created for Oracle data.
It would seem that creating small pp's will cause more overhead. What if you make the pp to large? What should I base this size on?
Thanks, (4 Replies)
hi,
1) is logical partition the same as physical partition except that one is physical and the other is logical?
2) then it must a one to one ratio? (3 Replies)
Hey all, is it possible to free up space off some partitions? during an install of hp-ux i set some allocated diskspace to lets say, /home to 1024 mb, but now i want it to be 512mb..

I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. What would be the advisable step to take in this instance? (9 Replies)

Since there've been a few requests for a method to execute commands on multiple CPUs (logical or physical), with various levels of shell-, make-, or Perl-based solutions, ranging from well-done to well-meant, and mostly specific to a certain problem, I've started to write a C-based solution...

Hello everyone,
I just read that while creating a logical volume(LV) we can choose the region of the physical volume (PV) in which the LV should be created.
When I say region I mean: outer edge - outer middle - center - inner middle and inner edge.
Can anyone help me understand the utility... (11 Replies)
Hi Friends !!
I am facing a hash total issue while performing over a set of files of huge volume:
Command used:
tail -n +2 <File_Name> |nawk -F"|" -v '%.2f' qq='"' '{gsub(qq,"");sa+=($156<0)?-$156:$156}END{print sa}' OFMT='%.5f'
Pipe delimited file and 156 column is for hash totalling.... (14 Replies)
I am working on a script to get the final total size and so far have the following and wondering if this can be improved.
# Compare the desired size of each lvm to the standard size. If it is desired is larger than calculate the difference and keep that value as the amount to add to that LVM. ... (5 Replies)
