NAME

pvchange - Changes the characteristics of a physical volume in a volume group  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pvchange -x Extensibility PhysicalVolumePath  

DESCRIPTION

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 pvchange command changes the characteristics and state of a physical volume in a volume group by setting the allocation permission for additional physical extents on the physical volume to either allowed or prohibited.  

FLAGS

Sets the allocation permission for additional physical extents on the physical volume specified by the PhysicalVolumePath argument. The Extensibility argument is represented by one of the following: Allows the allocation of additional physical extents on the physical volume. Prohibits the allocation of additional physical extents on the physical volume. You can, however, access the logical volumes that reside on the physical volume.  

EXAMPLES

This section contains Digital device-specific examples. To prohibit the allocation of additional physical extents to physical volume rz1c, enter: pvchange -x n /dev/rz1c Additional physical extents to rz1c are prohibited. To allow the allocation of additional physical extents to physical volume rz1c, enter: pvchange -x y /dev/rz1c Additional physical extents to rz1c are allowed.
