I have been tasked with creating several new VG’s and was looking to see if there was an easier way of doing through a script

The Lv’s are the same except the end prefix running from f00 to f52 and FS ending in _u000 to U052 using 2 vpaths in separated data centres

File sizes with be different to ranging from 128 mb to 14G , to do the crfs I was going to create a flat flie and run it as a script.

Does any one know of a good way or could help with a script to do this. I have several new VG’s I need to create and I am looking at a way of saving time


The spread shhet looks out of line but vapths are 0 & 26 , 1 &27 etc

with a text file as:

vg.conf:
xxxxxxxf00 xx/xx_u000 2G 0 26
xxxxxxxf01 xx/xx_u001 14G 1 27
xxxxxxxf02 xx/xx_u002 14G 2 28
xxxxxxxf03 xx/xx_u003 14G 3 29
xxxxxxxf04 xx/xx_u004 14G 4 30
xxxxxxxf05 xx/xx_u005 14G 5 31
xxxxxxxf06 xx/xx_u006 14G 6 32
xxxxxxxf07 xx/xx_u007 14G 7 33

cat vg.conf | awk 'BEGIN{c=0,x=26}{system("vgcreate " $2 " " c " " x); c+=1; x+=1)}'

system() will execute a system command.

just a though.

cheers.

All uses of cat, unless you're actually concatenating more than one file together are useless....
