vgdisplay(8)
NAME
  vgdisplay - Displays information about volume groups

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/vgdisplay [-v] [VolumeGroupName ...]

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 vgdisplay command displays information about volume groups.  If you use
  VolumeGroupName, only the information for that volume group is displayed.
  If you do not use VolumeGroupName a list of the names of all defined volume
  groups is displayed. If the -v (verbose) flag is not specified, only the
  following information is displayed:

  VG Name   Name of the volume group.

  VG Status State of the volume group.	If the volume group is activated with
	    the vgchange -a y command, the state is available. If the volume
	    group is deactivated with the vgchange -a n command, the state is
	    off.

  Max LV    Maximum number of logical volumes allowed in the volume group.

  Cur LV    Current number of logical volumes within the volume group.

  Open LV   Number of logical volumes within the volume group that are
	    currently open.

  Max PV    Maximum number of physical volumes allowed in the volume group.

  Cur PV    Current number of physical volumes within the volume group.

  Active PV Number of physical volumes that are currently active.

  PE Size   Size of each physical extent.

  Max PE per PV
	    Maximum number (limit) of physical extents that can be allocated
	    from any of the physical volumes in the volume group.

  Total PE  Total number of physical extents within the volume group: this is
	    the sum of the number of physical extents belonging to each
	    available physical volume in the volume group.

  Alloc PE  Number of physical extents currently allocated to logical
	    volumes.

  Free PE   Number of physical extents not allocated.

  VGDA	    Number of volume group descriptor areas within the volume group.

FLAGS
  -v	    Lists additional information for each logical volume and for each
	    physical volume on the volume group:

	    Logical volumes: lists the following information about logical
	    volumes belonging to VolumeGroupName:

	    LV Name   Name of the logical volume within the volume group.

	    LV Status State of the logical volume. Available/stale indicates
		      the logical volume can be opened but contains extents
		      that are not current. Available/syncd indicates the
		      logical volume can be opened and it is synchronized.
		      Unavailable indicates that an open of the logical
		      volume will fail.

	    Total LE  Number of logical extents in the logical volume.

	    Used PE   Number of physical extents used by the logical volume.

	    Used PV   Number of physical volumes used by the logical volume.

	    Physical volumes: lists the following information about physical
	    volumes belonging to VolumeGroupName:

	    PV Name   Name of the physical volume within the group.

	    PV status State of the physical volume.

	    Total PE  Total number of physical extents on the physical
		      volume.

	    Free PE   Number of free physical extents on the physical volume.

EXAMPLES
   1.  To display information about all the volume groups within the system,
       enter:
	    vgdisplay

   2.  To display all of the information about volume group vg02, enter:
	    vgdisplay -v /dev/vg02
       The characteristics and status of both the logical and physical
       extents of volume group vg02 are displayed.
