Well.. There actually is one way that _might_ work.

Note: there are a lot of if statements in the following
Note: lmigratelv is the command internal to the migratepv script.

#include <std-disclaimer.h>

if (( stripe size == PE size ) &&
   ( you know which PE's contain the parity ) &&
   ( you can map a raid PE to an PV PE ) &&
   ( you can figure out how to use lmigratelv ) &&
   ( you are extremely confident )) {
                You can shift PE's around to your hearts content
} else {
        nope.
}

Sorry for writing it in pseudo-code. I've been hacking a lot lately.

Chris.

You can't.

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
