    HP-UX systems can have disk partitions that contain file systems, swap space, raw data, or boot areas. There are two approaches to partitioning disks: the whole disk approach which is easy to configure but less flexible, and logical volume management (LVM) which allows volumes to span multiple disks and logical volumes to be extended or reduced as needed. LVM involves physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes that have device files associated with their major and minor numbers for identification and access.

    Configuring Disk Devices:

    HP-UX having one or more Partitions.


    Each Partition have following of these:
    1. File system
    2. swap space
    3. raw data
    4. boot area

    Creating and Managing Partitions: 2 types ------ Whole disk approach & Logical Volume
    Manager (LVM)

    Whole Disk Approach: easy to configure


    Fs
    Swap
    Raw
    Fs & swap
    Fs, swap & boot

    LVM of disk partitioning: it is more flexible.

    Physical volume (PV1)


    Physical volume (PV2)
    ………………………………Volume Group (/dev/vg00, /dev/vg01, ….)

    --------------------------------- ---------------lvm1,lvm2,lvm3……etc.
    (/dev/vg01/lvol1, /dev/vg01/lvol2, ….)

    Advantages of lvm:
    Create lv that span multiple disks
    Create multiple lv on single disk
    Extend and reduce lv as necessary
    Logical volume device files:

    LVM major number:--- 64


    LVM minor number: --
