Varryon VG

This is just for VG activation; some times clients want to deactivate VG for project restriction. After that we want to activate the VG for further data access

Suppose we want to activate testvg, then your command will be

#lsvg
Rootvg
Datavg
Testvg

The above command shows what are VG’s available

#lsvg –o
Rootvg
Datavg

The above commands shows only online VG’s because testvg is offline so we have to activate testvg

#varryonvg testvg

#lsvg –o
Rootvg
Datavg
Testvg

Now above command is display the testvg.
