LVM Version 2.0 Volume Groups in HP-UX 11i v3 (September 2008)

–l max_lv and –p max_pv are not needed for 2.x volume groups because any 2.x volume group is

provisioned to handle the maximum supported number of logical volumes and physical volumes.

–f is not needed for 2.x volume groups because bad block handling is handled by all currently supported

physical disk drives.

Example

To create a 2.0 volume group using 32 MB extents and a maximum size is 1 PB, enter:

# vgcreate -V 2.0 -s 32 -S 1p /dev/vg01 /dev/disk/disk50

Example

To create a 2.0 volume group using 4 MB extents and a maximum size is 8 TB, enter:

# mkdir /dev/vg01

# mknod /dev/vg01/group c 128 0x001000

# vgcreate -V 2.0 -s 4 -S 8t /dev/vg01 /dev/disk/disk49
