    Why does a VG or LV  show in "defined" state  in ODM ?

    I created a new VG and some filesystems and I did and lsdev |grep "Volume group"  and saw that the VG i created was in "Available" state

    I know I can change it with an odmchange command by changing "status = 1" to "status = 0" in CuDv for the device

    1) But does the VG /LV state in odm change automatically on reboot ?

    2) Does the ODM state being in "Available" or "Defined" have any effect on the VG LV or applications using them ?

     

     

    # lsdev|grep "Volume group"
    rootvg         Defined         Volume group
    testvg         Available       Volume group

    Rootvg in a defined state via the lsdev command is normal on 5.3.  When you want to check the status of the volume group use volume group commands: like lsvg -o (online volumen groups), lsvg rootvg (to heck the state), lsvg (lists all volume groups). I am not sure that odm actually as an available or defined state for a volume group.
