To create logical volumes: 1. Use the lvcreate -L command to create a logical volume. Specify the volume size (in megabytes) and the volume group for the new logical volume. HP-UX assigns the logical volume numbers automatically (lvol1, lvol2, lvol3). Use the following capacity values for the size parameter: OPEN-K = 1740 OPEN-3 = 2344 OPEN-8 = 7004 OPEN-9 = 7004 OPEN-E = 13888 OPEN-L = 34756 OPEN-V = 61432 To calculate S1 for CVS, LUSE, and CVS LUSE volumes, first use the vgdisplay command to display the physical extent size (PE Size) and usable number of physical extents (Free PE) for the volume. Calculate the maximum size value (in MB) as follows: S1 = (PE Size) × (Free PE) Logical volumes can span multiple physical volumes. Use the diskinfo command for extended LUNs. 2. Create an OPEN-3 logical volume the size of the physical volume, using 2344 for the size parameter. An OPEN-9 volume uses 7040 for the size parameter to create a logical volume the size of the physical volume. Example # lvcreate -L 2344 /dev/vg06 Logical volume "/dev/vg06/lvol1" has been successfully created with character device "/dev/vg06/rlvol1". Logical volume "/dev/vg06/lvol1" has been successfully extended. Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg06 has been saved in /etc/1vmconf/vg06.conf. 3. Use the lvdisplay command to verify that the logical volume was created correctly. Example # lvdisplay /dev/vg06/lvol1 - - - Logical volume - - - LV Name /dev/vg06/lvol1 VG Name /dev/vg06 LV Permission read/write LV Status available/syncd Mirror copies 0 Consistency Recovery MWC Schedule parallel LV Size (Mbytes) 2344 Current LE 586 Allocated PE 586 Stripes 0 Stripe Size (Kbytes) 0 Bad block on Allocation strict 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each logical volume to be created. You can create only one logical volume at a time. However, you can verify multiple logical volumes at a time. 26 HP-UX
