Managing Logical Volumes Using SAM

SAM enables you to perform most, but not all, LVM management tasks. Tasks that can be performed with SAM include:

creating or removing volume groups
adding or removing disks within volume groups
creating, removing, or modifying logical volumes
increasing the size of logical volumes
creating or increasing the size of a file system in a logical volume (see Chapter 4, "Working with HP-UX File Systems")
setting up and modifying swap and dump logical volumes (see Chapter 6, "Managing Swap Space and Dump Areas")
creating and modifying mirrored logical volumes (see Chapter 7, "Mirroring Data Using LVM")

These tasks can also be performed with HP-UX commands. (See "Managing Logical Volumes Using HP-UX Commands" next as well as the specific chapters shown above.)

To use SAM, enter sam.
