HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1M System Administration Commands A-M (vol 3)

l
lvlnboot(1M) lvlnboot(1M)
This option does not allow updating /stand/rootconf
for any volume group
other than the one that is booted.
-d dump_lv Define dump_lv to be one of the dump volumes the next time the system is
booted on the volume group. dump_lv must be a contiguous logical volume and
cannot have Bad Block Relocation enabled.
The command updates the Boot Data Reserved Area of each bootable physical
volume in the volume group (see pvcreate(1M)).
The combined size of all the dump volumes should be at least 2048 bytes larger
than the total memory of the system.
Multiple dump devices can be configured, but each dump_lv must be entered
with a separate
lvlnboot command line.
This option will be obsolete in the next HP-UX release.
-r root_lv Define root_lv to be the root volume the next time the system is booted on this
volume group. root_lv must be a contiguous logical volume and cannot have bad
block relocation enabled.
If root_lv is the first logical volume on the physical volume, then it is configured
as the combined root-boot volume. Otherwise, root_lv is configured as the
separate root volume in which case a separate boot volume needs to be
configured using the lvlnboot -b option.
Either the separate root or the separate boot volume can be configured first.
The command updates the Boot Data Reserved Area of each bootable physical
volume (see pvcreate(1M)) to enable the volume group to be used to locate the
root file system. root_lv is also used as the root volume during a maintenance-
mode boot (see hpux(1M) for PA-RISC systems).
The physical volumes containing root_lv must have been created using the
pvcreate -B option (see pvcreate(1M)), indicating that that physical volume
is to be used as a bootable physical volume. Also, the mkboot command (see
mkboot(1M)) must have been run on the physical volume to create the LIF area
at the top of the physical volume (see lif(4)).
-R Recover any missing links to all of the logical volumes specified in the Boot Data
Reserved Area and update the Boot Data Reserved Area of each bootable physi-
cal volume in the volume group (see pvcreate(1M)).
-s swap_lv Define swap_lv to be the primary swap volume the next time the system is
booted on the volume group. swap_lv must be a contiguous logical volume, and a
root logical volume must have been previously defined with this command.
The command updates the Boot Data Reserved Area of each bootable physical
volume in the volume group (see pvcreate(1M)). Any existing swap area previ-
ously defined must be removed via lvrmboot(1M).
This option will be obsolete in the next HP-UX release.
-v Print verbose messages. With no other arguments present, print information on
root, boot, swap, and dump logical volumes. If a combined root-boot volume is
configured, no information for the boot volume is displayed.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LANG is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to
"C" (see environ(5)).
EXAMPLES
The following examples show configuration of a combined root-boot volume.
