Using LVM and VxVM to Examine Disks

You can determine which disks are in use with the lvm(7M) (Logical Volume Manager) and VxVM (Veritas Volume Manager) commands. For example, to see which disks are in use by lvm, enter this command:

# /usr/sbin/vgdisplay -v | /usr/bin/more

and look in the output for PV Name, which describes physical volumes.

This information is under the Physical Volumes heading. It looks similar to this:

--- Physical Volumes ---  
PV Name           /dev/dsk/c2t3d0 
PV Status	        available
Total PE          4340 
Free PE           428 
Autoswitch        On
