HP-UX Logical Volume Manager and MirrorDisk/UX Release Notes (September 2009)

Table 1 LVM Fixes in HP-UX 11i v3 September 2009 (continued)

DescriptionDefect ID

The vgimport command displays an incorrect volume group version in the “Error:

Unsupported volume group version. The command supports up to version

X.Y” message when you invoke the command on a volume group with an unsupported

volume group version.

QXCR1000908270

The importation of avolume group with a mirrored logical volume is allowed on HP-UX

11i v3 even if MirrorDisk/UX is not installed.

QXCR1000908273

For shared Version1.0 volume groups and their mirrored NOMWC logical volumes, when

an HP Serviceguard cluster node crashes and LVM recovers the mirrored NOWC logical

volumes, LVM does not start a resynchronization of the logical volumes. No data corruption

occurs because LVM marks all physical extents on the logical volumes stale, except one.

This problem occurs on the HP-UX 11i v3 September 2008 and March 2009 update releases.

QXCR1000908998

If the physical volume name exceeds 23 characters, it is truncated in the PVG listing of the

vgdisplay –v output.

QXCR1000911972

The lvlnboot command performs unaligned I/Os to the boot disk of a volume group.

QXCR1000914713

When you attempt a volume group version change on a Version 2.0 or a Version 2.1 volume

group that has stale extents on logical volumes with mirror consistency recovery policy set

to NOMWC, the command succeeds in preview mode but fails when executed without the

preview option stating that the volume group could not be activated.

QXCR1000918653

The vgimport of a Version 2.1 volume group, created by converting a Version 2.0 volume

group to Version 2.1 using vgversion, succeeds on a system that does not support Version

2.1 volume groups (March 2008 release of HP-UX 11i v3). The vgimport of a Version 2.0

volume group, created by converting a Version 2.1 volume group to a Version 2.0 using

vgversion, fails on a system that can support only Version 2.0 volume groups (March

2008 release of HP-UX 11i v3).

QXCR1000925131

The output of LVM display commands for non C locales is unaligned for Version 2.0 and

higher volume groups.

QXCR1000926968

On HP-UX PA systems, the lvrmboot –r VG_name command fails with the lvrmboot:

Unable to Remove Root Logical Volume message and returns an incorrect exit code

although the operation actually succeeds.

QXCR1000930152

For Version 2.x volume groups, the reprovisioning feature (vgmodify -S) introduced in

the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 release does not permit a subsequent vgextend command

to increase the maximum volume group size for physical volumes, unless the volume group

is deactivated and reactivated before invoking vgextend.
