How to check a volugroup

[yoda37]

Hi

I need to check a volum group.
Is there a command for this ?

Regards

lsvg your_vg_name

What do you mean by 'check'?

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

man lsvg

The command fsck work on the file system level only.
I'd like to verify the good health of my volum groups.

Thanks in advance
regards
Den

As Mike says, man lsvg. For example lsvg -l rootvg will give you the following (from the man page):

-l Lists the following information for each logical volume within the group specified by the VolumeGroup parameter:

LV
A logical volume within the volume group.
Type
Logical volume type.
LPs
Number of logical partitions in the logical volume.
PPs
Number of physical partitions used by the logical volume.
PVs
Number of physical volumes used by the logical volume.
Logical volume state
State of the logical volume. Opened/stale indicates the logical volume is open but contains partitions that are not current. Opened/syncd indicates the
logical volume is open and synchronized. Closed indicates the logical volume has not been opened.

good health of a volume group?!? i think you mean checking the ODM against the VGDA or something right?
look for lqueryvg and odmget commands

if you want to check if your rootvg filesystem is still viable try:
lppchk -vm3
this will tell you if AIX is still intact.
