an active spare, and its data is available if the active spare is avail-
able.
unavailable/active spare
The physical volume is unavailable and it’s an active spare. Thus, the
data on this physical volume in unavailable.
unavailable/standby spare
The physical volume is a spare, "standing by" that is not currently
available to capture data from a failed physical volume.
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 I/O timeout used by the disk driver when accessing the physical
volume. A value of default, indicates that the driver default I/O 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 origi-
nal physical volume, once it has been repaired. (See pvmove(1M)). If it
cannot be determined which physical volume that the data came from, this
field will instead display Missing PV. A missing physical volume would
indicate that when the volume group was last activated or reactivated (see
vgchange(1M)), the "failed" physical 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 allo-
cated 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
