no_lvm_disks

no_lvm_disks notifies the kernel that there are no logical volume groups on the system (Series 700 only).

Acceptable Values:

Minimum

0 (check for LVM disks)

Maximum

1 (system has no LVM disks)

Default

0

Specify integer value of 0 or 1. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.

Description

By default at boot time, the system checks for LVM data structures on the configured root, swap, and dump disks. If no LVM disks exist on the system, setting no_lvm_disks to 1 speeds up the boot process by omitting the check for LVM data structures.

Setting this parameter to a non-zero value on systems where LVM is being used causes kernel panics because the kernel does not obtain the necessary information about logical volumes on the system during the normal boot process.
