LVM 2.0 support
Ignite-UX does not currently support the installation and recovery/restore of LVM volume groups
having the volume group version 2.0 and 2.1. If a system to be recovered has a volume having
volume group version 2.0/2.1, such volumes will be imported during the install of recovery images
provided they are not included in the archive using the option "-x inc_entire=<vgname>" or
by some other means.
Alternatively, starting HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 update release,LVM supports volume group
version 2.2, and Ignite-UX supports installation and recovery/restore of LVM volume groups having
volume group version 2.2. Users can migrate 2.0/2.1 volumes (which are created outside Ignite-UX
install environment) to volume group version 2.2 using the LVM's volume group migration tool
(vgversion(1M) command) prior to the archive creation.
