Enterprise Volume Manager (Multi-OS) Version 2.0D Network Administration Guide

8–8 Enterprise Volume Manager (Multi-OS) Network Administration Guide
EVM Support for Volume Groups and HP Tru64 UNIX AdvFS Domains
This means that an attempt will be made to unmount any
logical volumes which may be mounted.
Do you wish to continue (C for CONTINUE Q for QUIT):
If you enter Q, the script exits. If you enter C, the system processes the volume groups
one at a time.
If you include the -q option with the -a parameter, the beginning warning message
does not appear; the system simply processes all of the volume groups that the script
can find, one at a time.
A file is created in the VGmaps directory (/opt/CPQevm/bin/VGmaps) called
failed_map_list, which contains a list of any failed volume groups. The logfile that
gets created is in the logs directory and is called generate_mapfiles.logfile. The
mapfile itself is created in the VGmaps directory; its name is in the format
mapfile._vgname.
NOTE: If you attempt to generate a mapfile for the root volume group (default name vg00),
which is usually included with the -a argument, the system does not allow you to do so. You get
the warning message, “Could not create mapfiles for all Volume Groups.”
This warning message is also issued for other volume groups if, for any reason, the system
cannot process the volume group and generate a mapfile.
Volume Groups and Windows 2000 Dynamic Disks
EVM V2.0D does not support Windows 2000 Dynamic disks. BCVs can be created
from source units configured as Dynamic disks, but an attempt to mount these BCVs
results in job failure. If the EVM host agent software is installed on a computer that
contains Dynamic disks, the EVM Resources page for that computer displays two
icons for each Dynamic disk. One icon shows the drive letter of the device with no
physical device information. The second icon shows an unmounted physical device
with no drive letter.
