NAME
Linux::LVM - Perl extension for accessing Logical Volume Manager(LVM)
data structures on Linux.
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::LVM;
Linux::LVM->units('G');
ABSTRACT
The live data used in the examples is included in the DESCRIPTION area
for your convenience and reference.
DESCRIPTION
units() Get or set the units used to report sizes of LVs, PVs, etc.
legal values: hbskmgtpeHBSKMGTPE
see man lvm documentation of --units
get_volume_group_list() This routine will return an array that
contains the names of the volume groups.
@vgs = get_volume_group_list(); print "@vgs \n";
Would yield the following: vg00
get_volume_group_information($) This routine will return all of
the volume group information about
the specified volume group.
%vg = get_volume_group_information("vg00");
foreach(sort keys %vg) {
print "$_ = $vg{$_}\n";
}
Would yield the following:
access = read/write
act_pv = 2
alloc_pe = 3840
alloc_pe_size = 15
alloc_pe_size_unit = GB
cur_lv = 3
cur_pv = 2

status = available/resizable

vg_number = 0
vg_size = 18.38
vg_size_unit = GB
vgname = vg00
get_logical_volume_information($) This routine will return all of the
logical volume information associated
with the specified volume group.
%lv = get_logical_volume_information("vg00");
foreach $lvname (sort keys %lv) {
foreach(sort keys %{$lv{$lvname}}) {
print "$_ = $lv{$lvname}->{$_}\n";
}
print "\n";
}
Would yield the following results:

get_physical_volume_information($) This routine will return all of the information
information about the physical volumes assigned
to the specified volume group.
%pv = get_physical_volume_information("vg00");
foreach $pvname (sort keys %pv) {
foreach(sort keys %{$pv{$pvname}}) {
print "$_ = $pv{$pvname}->{$_}\n";
}
print "\n";
}
Would yield the following results:
device = /dev/hda3
free_pe = 0
pv_number = 1
status = available / allocatable
total_pe = 2160
device = /dev/hda4
free_pe = 864
pv_number = 2
status = available / allocatable
total_pe = 2544
get_lv_info($) This routine will return all of the information about the
specified logical volume. The information will be returned
in a hash.
get_lv_info
%lv = get_lv_info("/dev/vg00/lvol1");
foreach (sort keys %lv) {
print "$_ = $lv{$_} \n";
}
Would yield the following results:
