p
pvdisplay(1M) pvdisplay(1M)
LV The block device path name of the logical volume to which the extent is
allocated
LE Index of the logical extent to which the physical extent is allocated
Display With -d Option
If -d is specified, pvdisplay
displays the following additional details for each physical volume:
Data Start
Starting block number (KB) of the user data. Displays unavailable if the PV is unavailable.
Boot Disk

yes PV was setup as a bootable physical volume using pvcreate.
no Physical volume is not a bootable physical volume.

Display the number of bad blocks that were relocated. Displays unavailable if the PV is unavail-
able.
Compact Listing (-F Option)
The -F option generates a compact and parsable listing of the command output in colon separated fields
formatted as key=value[,value...]. The -F option is designed to be used by scripts. The resulting com-
mand output may be split across multiple lines. The output may include new keys and/or values in the
future. If a key is deprecated, its associated value is set to NAM (key=NAM). For the current version of the
pvdisplay command, the lines format is:
LINE 1
The format of Line 1 is as follows:
pv_name=value[,value ...]:vg_name=value:pv_status=value:
allocatable=value:vgda=value:cur_lv=value:pe_size=value:
total_pe=value:io_timeout=value:spared_from=value: spared_to=value:autoswitch=value
LINE 2
The format of Line 2 is as follows:
lv_name=value:le_of_lv=value:pe_for_lv=value
... The above line may be repeated with different values.
LINE n
The format of Line n is as follows:
pe=value:pe_status=value:lv=value:le=value
... The above line may be repeated with different values.
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.
Status The current status of the block: free, used, structure , spared,or
unknown
Offset
The offset of the block relative to the logical volume.
LV Name The block device path name of the logical volume to which the block is allo-
cated.
Display With -l Option
If -l is specified, pvdisplay displays "LVM_Disk=yes" if the physical volume specified by pv_path is
under LVM control. If the physical volume is not under LVM control, it displays "LVM_Disk=no" instead.
