Using map files to create LVs
Nicholas Buckley
AIX 4.3.1 question
Am I missing something, or are map files produced by lsvg -M < vgname > the
same files that you would use in mklv -m <mapfile> ?
Example.
lsvg -M produces output such as:
hdisk20:102 lv001:1
hdisk20:103 lv001:2
hdisk20:104 lv001:3
hdisk20:105 lv001:4
hdisk20:106 lv001:5
but mklv -m needs the following format (so say the man pages) :
hdisk20:102
hdisk20:103
hdisk20:104
hdisk20:105
hdisk20:106
If I try to mklv with the mapfile in the original format, I get the
following error messages:
>
> 0516-418 allocp: Illegal data on standard input map line 4.
> 0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume.

The error is exactly the same, no matter how long the map file is ( as long
as it is at least 4 lines !)
Is there something mystical about line 4 :-)
What's happenin' ???

You should use maps as man page suggests :)
BTW ...
# cat map
hdisk20:106 lv001:5
# mklv -m map rootvg 1
0516-418 allocp: Illegal data on standard input map line 1.
0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume.
Nothing mystical about 4th line :-)
