v
vgdisplay(1M) vgdisplay(1M)
it’s data now resides on an active spare, and
its data is available 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 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.
Total PE Total number of physical extents on the physical volume.
Free PE Number of free physical extents on the physical volume.
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 original 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 PV 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 residing 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.
Autoswitch For multiported devices accessed via multiple paths, this field indicates
the autoswitch behavior for the physical volume (see pvchange(1M)).
On LVM will automatically switch from the path it is using when-
ever a better path to the physical volume is available. LVM will
switch paths when a better path recovers (after it had failed
earlier), or if the current path fails and another path is avail-
able. This is the default.
Off LVM will automatically switch to using the best available path
only when the path currently in use is unavailable. LVM will
continue using a specific path for the physical volume as long as
it works, regardless of whether another better path recovers
from a failure.
--- Physical volume groups ---
Information about physical volume groups belonging to vg_name:
PVG Name Name of a physical volume group in the volume group.
PV Name The block device path name of a physical volume in the physical volume group.
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
vgdisplay command, the lines format is:
LINE 1
The format of Line 1 is as follows:
vg_name=value:vg_write_access=value:vg_status=value:max_lv=value:
cur_lv=value:open_lv=value:max_pv=value:cur_pv=value:act_pv=value:
