HP LVM

HP-UX systems can have disk partitions that contain file systems, swap space, raw data, or boot areas. There are two approaches to partitioning disks: the whole disk approach which is easy to configure but less flexible, and logical volume management (LVM) which allows volumes to span multiple disks and logical volumes to be extended or reduced as needed. LVM involves physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes that have device files associated with their major and minor numbers for identification and access.

Configuring Disk Devices:

HP-UX having one or more Partitions.


Each Partition have following of these:
1. File system
2. swap space
3. raw data
4. boot area

Creating and Managing Partitions: 2 types ------ Whole disk approach & Logical Volume
Manager (LVM)

Whole Disk Approach: easy to configure


Fs
Swap
Raw
Fs & swap
Fs, swap & boot

LVM of disk partitioning: it is more flexible.

Physical volume (PV1)


Physical volume (PV2)
………………………………Volume Group (/dev/vg00, /dev/vg01, ….)

--------------------------------- ---------------lvm1,lvm2,lvm3……etc.
(/dev/vg01/lvol1, /dev/vg01/lvol2, ….)

Advantages of lvm:
Create lv that span multiple disks
Create multiple lv on single disk
Extend and reduce lv as necessary
Logical volume device files:

LVM major number:--- 64


LVM minor number: --
