pvchange(8) System Manager's Manual pvchange(8) 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 mi- grated 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 physi- cal 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 Ex- tensibility argument is represented by one of the following: Allows the allocation of additional physical extents on the physical volume. Pro- hibits 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 physi- cal extents to rz1c are allowed.
