What does the -prefix param do on VIO mklv?

dthacker · #1 December 26th, 2006

My memory is failing me, and I can't find this in a doc.
My LPAR training manual says to make a new LV
on a VIO, I need to issue this command:
mklv -lv NewLogicalVolume -prefix Prefix VolumGroup Size [ Physical Volumes ]

I can't remember what the prefix param does. Can anyone give me a pointer? Thanks!

you use -lv lvname or -prefix Prefix

-lv specifies the lv name as opposed to using a system generated name

-prefix specifies the prefix top use instead of the prefix in a system generated lv name.

have a look at page 74 of the following -

hope this helps
