Display With −−v Option
If you specify the
-v option, vgdisplay lists the following additional information for each logical
volume, for each physical volume, and for each physical volume group in the volume group:
--- Logical volumes ---
Information about logical volumes belonging to vg_name:
LV Name The block device path name of a logical volume in the volume group.
LV Status State of the logical volume:
available/stale
Logical volume available but contains physical
extents that are not current.
available/syncd
Logical volume available and synchronized.
available Logical volume available; stale/ syncd state
cannot be confidently determined because logical
volumes have both the Mirror Write Cache and
Mirror Consistency Recovery turned off.
unavailable Logical volume is not available for use.
LV Size (Mbytes)
Size of the logical volume.
Current LE Number of logical extents in the logical volume.
Allocated PE Number of physical extents used by the logical volume.
Used PV Number of physical volumes used by the logical volume.
--- Physical volumes ---
Information about physical volumes belonging to vg_name:
PV Name The block device path name of a physical volume in the group. When an alter-
nate link to a physical volume has been added, Alternate Link is
displayed next to the device path name. (See vgextend(1M) for definition.)
PV Status State of the physical volume: (NOTE: spare physical volumes are only
relevant if you have installed HP MirrorDisk/UX software):
available The physical volume is available and is not a spare
physical volume.
available/data spared
The physical volume is available. However, it’s
data still resides on an active spare.
available/active spare
The physical volume is available and is an active
spare physical volume. (An active spare is a spare
that has taken over for a failed physical volume.)
available/standby spare
The physical volume is a spare "standing by" in
case of a failure on any other physical volume in
this volume group. It can only be used to capture
data from a failed physical volume.
unavailable The physical volume is unavailable and is not a
spare physical volume.
unavailable/data spared
The physical volume is unavailable. However, it’s
data now resides on an active spare, and its data is
available if the active spare is available.
unavailable/active spare
The physical volume is unavailable and it’s an
