to identify disks

  1. ioscan -fn -C disk
    (for kernel info, and faster information, use -k )
  2. vgdisplay -v | grep "PV Name"
  3. vgcfgbackup vg00 (--> 0x)
    (highly recommended that you backup the volume group config)
  4. view the /etc/lvmtab file:
    host.root-#->strings /etc/lvmtab
    /dev/vg00
    3n }
    /dev/dsk/c4t6d0
    /dev/dsk/c4t5d0
    /dev/vg01
    /dev/dsk/c5t1d0
    /dev/dsk/c5t2d0
    /dev/vg02
    /dev/dsk/c5t3d0
    /dev/dsk/c5t4d0
