Total Spare PVs in use
Total number of spare physical volumes that are active in place of (containing all
data from) a failed physical volume.
Display With −−vOption
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
Available with no stale extents.
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 avail-
able if the active spare is available.
unavailable/active spare
The physical volume is unavailable and it’s an active
spare. Thus, the data on this physical volume is una-
vailable.
