Monitoring Disk Resources

Disk Monitor Reference

Logical Volume Status

Logical volume status gives you status on each logical volume in a volume group. While the lv_summary tells whether data in a volume group is available, the lv/status/lvName will tell you whether specific logical volumes have failed.

The value in Table 2-4 is used by the disk monitor to determine how conditions compare in logical operations. For example, you may create a request that alerts you when the condition is greater than or equal to INACTIVE. The numeric value allows you to tell which conditions qualify.

INACTIVE

 

2

The logical volume is inactive.

 

 

 

 

DOWN

 

3

The logical volume is DOWN, a complete copy of the data is not

 

 

 

available for this logical volume.

 

 

 

 

When configuring requests from the SAM interface, a wildcard (*) may be used in place of lvName to monitor all logical volumes in a volume group.

If you split off mirrors from your mirrored configuration, you will see new logical volume resource instances when the split mirror is created.
