Logical Volume Management¶

LVM management functions.

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.create_lv(ns, vg, name, size)¶

Create new Logical Volume on given Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to allocate the volume from. name (string) – Name of the logical volume. size (int) – Size of the logical volume in bytes.
Return type:	LMIInstance/LMI_LVStorageExtent

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.create_vg(ns, devices, name, extent_size=None)¶

Create new Volume Group from given devices.

Parameters:	device – Devices to add to the Volume Group. name (string) – Name of the Volume gGoup. extent_size (int) – Extent size in bytes.
Return type:	LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.delete_lv(ns, lv)¶

Destroy given Logical Volume.

Parameters:	lv (LMIInstance/LMI_LVStorageExtent or string) – Logical Volume to destroy.

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.delete_vg(ns, vg)¶

Destroy given Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to delete.

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_lv_vg(ns, lv)¶

Return Volume Group of given Logical Volume.

Parameters:	lv (LMIInstance/LMI_LVStorageExtent or string) – Logical Volume to examine.
Return type:	LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_lvs(ns, vgs=None)¶

Retrieve list of all logical volumes allocated from given volume groups.

If no volume groups are provided, all logical volumes on the system are returned.

Parameters:	vgs (list of LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or list of strings) – Volume Groups to examine.
Return type:	list of LMIInstance/LMI_LVStorageExtent.

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_tp_vgs(ns, tp)¶

Return Volume Groups of given Thin Pool.

Alias for get_vg_tps.

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_tps(ns)¶

Retrieve list of all thin pools on the system.

Return type:	list of LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_vg_lvs(ns, vg)¶

Return list of Logical Volumes on given Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to examine.
Return type:	list of LMIInstance/LMI_LVStorageExtent

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_vg_pvs(ns, vg)¶

Return Physical Volumes of given Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to examine.
Return type:	list of LMIInstance/CIM_StorageExtent

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_vg_tps(ns, vg)¶

Return Thin Pools of given Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to examine.
Return type:	list of LMIInstance/CIM_StoragePool

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.get_vgs(ns)¶

Retrieve list of all volume groups on the system.

Return type:	list of LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool

lmi.scripts.storage.lvm.modify_vg(ns, vg, add_pvs=None, remove_pvs=None)¶

Modify given Volume Group.

Add ‘add_pvs’ devices as Physical Volumes of the group. Remove ‘remove_pvs’ devices from the Volume Group.

Parameters:	vg (LMIInstance/LMI_VGStoragePool or string) – Volume Group to delete. add_pvs (List of LMIInstances/LMI_VGStoragePools or strings) – List of new devices to be added as Physical Volumes of the VG. remove_pvs (List of LMIInstances/LMI_VGStoragePools or strings) – List of Physical Volume to be removed from the VG.
