Re: How to assign a specific disk in RAID to a particular VG/LV

LVM sees your RAID Array as one big PV now. Just create your lv using that one disk. You will not be able to place them on 2 PV's unless you built 2 smaller RAID Arrays. I have never done that; I guess it would work.

If you want to use LV striping, SSA RAID 5 may not be what you want.

Subject: How to assign a specific disk in RAID to a particular VG/LV

Hai All,

We have 5 Hard disks in RAID 5 on P620 Machine.

I want to create two lvs, one for Oracle REDO Logs and Other for Oracle
Archive Logs.
I want to place these two LVS on two separate physical hard disks.
But because of RAID 5 of all the available hard disks, I could able to see
only one physical volume at AIX level.

Please tell me whether can I allocate specific hard disk out of RAID to a
particular LV?

Regards
G V Raju
