NAME

pvck — check or repair a physical volume in LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pvck -y pv_path

/usr/sbin/pvck -n pv_path

DESCRIPTION

Note: Currently pvck is only capable of detecting bad checksums caused by a forward system migration after a backward system migration. It should not be used in other situations.

The pvck command examines and repairs LVM data structures on a raw disk (pv_path) in a volume group.

Options and Arguments

pvck recognizes the following options and arguments.

-y

Repair problems found.

-n

Report, but do not repair problems.

pv_path

The raw device path name of a physical volume.

RETURN VALUE

pvck returns the following values

0

Either no problems were found or all problems were corrected.

1

Unable to repair.

EXAMPLES

Examine LVM checksums on /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 without modifying anything:

pvck -n /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0

Repair LVM checksums on /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 if necessary:

pvck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0

WARNINGS

pvck should only be run on a device whose volume group has not been activated.

pvck is designed to repair the root device or devices while the system is booted in maintenance mode ("hpux -lm", see hpux(1M) on PA-RISC systems).

AUTHOR

pvck was developed by HP.
