lvlnboot(1M) lvlnboot(1M)

First, initialize the disk, say /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

, so that it can be used as an LVM boot disk.

pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Place the LIF information on the disk using the

mkboot command.

mkboot /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Create the volume group vglvmroot .

vgcreate /dev/vglvmroot /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

Create a logical volume that is suitable for use as the root volume. This logical volume has to be the

ﬁrst in the volume group and should be a contiguous volume with bad block relocation turned off.

lvcreate -n root -L 120 -C y -r n /dev/vglvmroot

Create a logical volume that will be used as primary swap. This volume should be contiguous.

lvcreate -n swap -L 64 -C y /dev/vglvmroot

Create a logical volume that will be used as the dump volume. This volume should be contiguous.

lvcreate -n dump -L 64 -C y /dev/vglvmroot

Specify that the logical volume, root, will be used as the root volume.

lvlnboot -r /dev/vglvmroot/root

Specify that the logical volume, swap, will be used as the primary swap.

lvlnboot -s /dev/vglvmroot/swap

Specify that the logical volume, dump, will be used as the dump volume.

lvlnboot -d /dev/vglvmroot/dump

Display the results of the previous operations.

lvlnboot -v /dev/vglvmroot

The following examples show conﬁguration of separate root and boot volumes.

Create a root volume group, vglvmroot, containing root, boot, swap, and dump logical volumes.

Assume that an appropriate directory called /dev/vglvmroot

and a corresponding group ﬁle

already exist (see lvm(7)).

First, initialize the disk, say

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0

, so that it can be used as an LVM boot disk.

pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Place the LIF information on the disk using the mkboot command.

mkboot /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Create the volume group vglvmroot .

vgcreate /dev/vglvmroot /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

Create a logical volume that is suitable for use as the boot volume. This logical volume has to be the

ﬁrst in the volume group and should be a contiguous volume with bad block relocation turned off.

lvcreate -n boot -L 24 -C y -r n /dev/vglvmroot

Create a logical volume that is suitable for use as the root volume. This logical volume should be a

contiguous volume with bad block relocation turned off.

lvcreate -n root -L 64 -C y -r n /dev/vglvmroot
