lvdisplay(8)
NAME
  lvdisplay - Displays information about logical volumes

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/lvdisplay [-v] LogicalVolumePath ...

DESCRIPTION
				     Note

       This command is no longer supported on Digital UNIX systems.
       Features formerly provided by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
       are now provided by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM).  Existing
       LVM volumes must be migrated to LSM, using an encapsulation
       process. For information about moving LVM volumes to LSM, see the
       vollvmencap(8) reference page and the manual Logical Storage
       Manager.


  The lvdisplay command displays the characteristics and status of each
  logical volume specified by the LogicalVolumePath parameter.	If you use
  the -v (verbose) option, the program displays physical volume (PV)
  distribution information, and map information about the physical extents
  that correspond to the logical extents of the logical volume(s).

  If you enter the lvdisplay command without any flags, the program displays
  information about the following characteristics:

  LV Name:  The name of the logical volume

  VG Name:  The name of the volume group

  LV Permission:
	    The access permission: read-only or read-write

  LV Status:
	    The state of the logical volume:  available/stale,
	    available/syncd, or unavailable
	    Available/stale indicates that the logical volume is available
	    but contains physical extents that are not current.
	    Available/syncd indicates that the logical volume is available
	    and synchronized. Unavailable indicates that the logical volume
	    is not available for use.

  Write verify:
	    The write verify state of the logical volume: on or off

  Mirror Copies:
	    The number of physical extents allocated for each logical extent

  Schedule: The sequential or parallel scheduling policy

   Current LE:
	    The number of logical extents currently in the logical volume

  Allocated PE:
	    The number of physical extents allocated to the logical volume

  Bad Blocks:
	    The bad block relocation policy

  Allocation:
	    The current allocation state: strict or non-strict A strict
	    allocation specifies that mirror copies for a logical extent are
	    not allocated on the same physical volume.	A non-strict
	    allocation specifies that physical extents that belong to the
	    same logical extent can be allocated on the same physical volume.
	    If the allocation does not meet the criteria for strict, it is
	    considered to be non-strict.

FLAGS
  -v	    Lists the map and the following additional information about the
	    distribution of the logical volume across the physical volumes of
	    the volume group.
	    Distribution of logical volume: lists the distribution of the
	    logical volume LogicalVolumePath within the volume group:

	    PV Name:  The name of the physical volume to which the logical
		      extents are allocated

	    LE on PV: The number of logical extents that are allocated on the
		      physical volume

	    PE on PV: The number of physical extents that are allocated on
		      the physical volume
  Logical extents: displays the following information for each logical
  extent:

	    LE:	      The logical extent number

	    PV1:      The physical volume name that corresponds to the
		      location of the first physical extent of the logical
		      extent

	    PE1:      The first physical extent number allocated to the
		      logical extent

	    Status 1: The status of the first physical extent: stale or
		      current

	    PV2:      The physical volume name that corresponds to the
		      location of the second physical extent (first copy) of
		      the logical extent

	    PE2:      The second physical extent number allocated to the
		      logical extent

	    Status 2: The status of the second physical extent: stale or
		      current

	    PV3:      The physical volume name that corresponds to the
		      location of the third physical extent (second copy) of
		      the logical extent

	    PE3:      The third physical extent number allocated to the
		      logical extent

	    Status 3: The status of the third physical extent: stale or
		      current




EXAMPLES
   1.  To display information about the logical volume, lv03, enter:
	    lvdisplay /dev/vg01/lv03

       The program displays information about lv03, its logical and physical
       extents, and the volume group to which it belongs.

   2.  To display all the available information about the logical volume,
       lv03, enter:
	    lvdisplay -v /dev/vg01/lv03
       The program displays the characteristics, status and distribution map
       of lv03.

  /usr/sbin/lvdisplay
