Basic Filesystem / Physical Volume / Logical Volume Check

chipahoys · December 2, 2008, 1:08am

Hi!

Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?

What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?

I need to do this as I was informed by IBM that there seems to be an error on our SAN disks. I don't even know what SAN disks are.

Thanks!

system messages and your syslog

LVM
