pvdisplay(1M) pvdisplay(1M)
Allocatable Allocation permission for the physical volume
VGDA Number of volume group descriptors on the physical volume
Cur LV Number of logical volumes using the physical volume
PE Size (Mbytes)
Size of physical extents on the volume, in megabytes (MB)
Total PE Total number of physical extents on the physical volume
Free PE Number of free physical extents on the physical volume
Allocated PE Number of physical extents on the physical volume that are allocated to logical
volumes
Stale PE Number of physical extents on the physical volume that are not current
IO Timeout The IO timeout used by the disk driver when accessing the physical volume. A
value of default, indicates that the driver default IO timeout is being used.
Spared from PV If the physical volume represents an active spare, this field will show the
name of the failed physical volume whose data now resides on this spare. This
information can be used to manually move the data back to the original physi-
cal volume, once it has been repaired. (See pvmove (1M)). If it cannot be deter-
mined which physical volume that the data came from, this field will instead
display Missing PV. A missing PV would indicate that when the volume
group was last activated or reactivated (see vgchange (1M)), the "failed" physi-
cal volume was not able to attach to the volume group.
Spared to PV If the physical volume represents a failed physical volume, this field will show
the name of the active spare physical volume that now contains the data that
originally resided on this volume. This information can be used to manually
move the data back to the original physical volume (see pvmove(1M)) once it
has been repaired.
Display With −−v Option
If
-v is specified, pvdisplay lists additional information for each logical volume and for each physical
extent on the physical volume:
--- Distribution of physical volume ---
The logical volumes that have extents allocated on pv_path , displayed in column format:
LV Name The block device path name of the logical volume which has extents allocated
on pv_path .
LE of LV Number of logical extents within the logical volume that are contained on this
physical volume
PE for LV Number of physical extents within the logical volume that are contained on
this physical volume
--- Physical extents ---
The following information for each physical extent, displayed in column format:
PE Physical extent number
Status Current state of the physical extent: free, current,orstale
LV The block device path name of the logical volume to which the extent is allo-
cated
LE Index of the logical extent to which the physical extent is allocated
Display With −−b Option
If
-b is specified, pvdisplay lists additional information for each block specified in BlockList .
--- Block Mapping ---
The use of blocks on pv_path , displayed in column format:
Block The block number relative to the physical volume.
