Overview
The general format for Disk Group, Volume Group, and whole disk layout is as follows:
partitioned_disk
{
physical_volume disk[
hw_path|index]
{
physical_volume-attributes...
}
fs_partition
{
file-system-attributes...
}
swap_partition
{
swap-attributes...
}
}
volume_group
group_name
{
volume_group-attributes...
physical_volume group "pvgname"
{
physical_volume disk[
hw_path|index]
{
physical_volume-attributes...
}
...
}
...
physical_volume disk[
hw_path|index]
{
physical_volume-attributes...
}
...
logical_volume
{
file-system/swap-attributes...
}
logical_volume "
lvname"
{
file-system/swap-attributes...
}
...
}
Note that partitioned disks are not used very often in more modern systems, as the size of the boot
disk cannot be more than approximately 2GB in size on PA-RISC systems. There is no such
restriction on Itanium®-based systems.
Before looking at anything in detail, the attributes that can be set in each of the preceding
examples are introduced in the following configuration examples. For more details on the
individual attributes, refer to instl_adm(4).
