Total Spare PVs Total number of physical volumes that are designated as spares for this
volume group. This will include both stand-by and active spares -- see
below.
Total Spare PVs in use
Total number of spare physical volumes that are active in place of (con-
taining all data from) a failed physical volume.
Display With -v Option
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 physi-
cal extents that are not current.
available/syncd Logical volume available with no stale
extents.
unavailable Logical volume is not available for use.
LV Size (Megabytes) 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
alternate 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,
