fdisk can help.
Here is a little hack I named lunsizes that assumes up to 26 mounted
LUNs and friendly names (/dev/mapper/mapthx):
#!/bin/bash
# find LUNs in /dev/mapper and list in bytes and GiB
ls /dev/mapper/mpath[a-z] /dev/null 21
if [ $? != 0 ]; then # no LUNs found
echo No LUNs found in

I use /proc/partitions all the time - but stopped recommending it to others
when I was told (can't remember the source) it was deprecated. I'd be
glad to be wrong here.. as you say - it's quick and easy and no running
through /dev or /sys structures..

Just speaking to LVM...
Striping the data across multiple volumes (which in modern dasd is already
stripped in the Raid array), would give you the best performance.
Especially if you can strip across multiple DS8000 (or other dasd
subsystems).
But you can also use LVM as a pool of DASD, with no

And to add to the conversation, I've also used UDEV to help query disk
information for me in the past. Say your SCSI disk is /dev/sdf, then you
can query all sorts of information with udev via:
udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdf) | less -Ip size
I choose less in my sample CLI
Tom,
I agree 100% with you, in many cases, using LVM (with stripes) and PAV, we
improve 100% of I/O capacity for a I/O intensive workload (eg. Oracle
Database).
One critical point in some cases, is that the LVM architecture is not fully
supported by vendors (eg. Oracle RAC using LVM volumes in

So that might have been my problem (but not necessarily limited to that
one).
I was on Suse 10 system. I initially stripped the LVM. When it got nearly
full, I tried to add a pack. Couldn't do it. So I went back and recreated
the LVM without striping and I could add a pack. I want to say
Hi all,
one more question regarding KVM on IBM System z:
Is there a way to check wether KVM is using hardware virtualisation (SIE
instruction)?
I installed SLES 11 and virt-host-validate is missing. In FC 17 it returns only
software virtualisation:
