How Do You Differentiate The Files /etc/lvmtab And /etc/lvmtab_p? And How To Read Lvmtab Files?

Answer»

/etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab_p in HP-UX are binary files and they can be READ using the strings COMMAND like

strings /etc/lvmtab

strings /etc/lvmtab_p

the above SHOW the Volume groups by name and the member PVs (physical volumes) of that VG.

While /etc/lvmtab keeps the ENTRIES for VG version 1.0 Volume Groups, /etc/lvmtab_p contains the entries for Version 2.x Volume Groups. Version 2.X volume groups had been introduced in HP-UX 11.31 that is 11iv3.
