lslv command question...Logical Volumes/ Oracle

[bartDG]

I am trying to find a way to get the disk name that a logical volume resides on. I know the lslv command returns the information I need, but I want to find a command that will only return the disk name.

Here is what I have so far...
$lslv -l dm2t_0128_003 | cut -d" " -f1
dm2t_0128_003:N/A
PV
hdisk11


Can I always be sure that the third line will contain the disk?

Thanks for the help!

Yes. But if the LV is across multiple disks then you will have more than 3 lines.

I would do it this way:
lslv -l hd2 | grep hdisk | awk '{print $1}'

hi

try lslv -m lvname

shows you what disk LV is on second column is mirror copy

Hi,

In general you would have entries like hdisk....
We are using SDD disks with gives vpath entries instead

The command used should then be:

lslv -l dm2t_0128_003 | awk 'NR>2 {print $1}'

flatwater's command
lslv -l hd2 | grep hdisk | awk '{print $1}'

would be more efficient like so
lslv -l hd2|awk '/hdisk/{print$1}'
