can some one tell me the steps(with commands) to create LVM
in RHEL 5????

Answer Posted / yogendra kiran kumar

1) Create 2 LVM partitions using
# fdisk /dev/sda
id for lvm --> 8e

2) # partprobe [ to update kernal ]

3) # pvcreate pv1 /dev/sda{6,7}
[ pv1 is physical volume label and 6,7 are the partition
no's it may differ in ur system ]

4) # pvdisplay
[ to display the physical volume info ]

5) # vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda{6,7}
[ to create logical volume group ]

6) # lvcreate -L 700M -n lv1 vg1
[ to create ur required size partition of lvm ]
[ lv1 is lvm label]

7) # lvdisplay
[ to know about the logical volume ]

8) # mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg1/lv1
[ to give file system ]

9) # mkdir /lv1
