Find Inactive VG

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

lsvg -o

shows active VGs. Is there a way to find inactive VGs with a command?

Please advise.

If you are using bash:

lsvg | grep -v <(lsvg -o)

Or with ksh one option is to write the output of lsvg -o to a file, then:

lsvg -o > lsvg.active
lsvg | grep -vf lsvg.active

Another, not so nice perhaps, option is:

lsvg $(lsvg) | grep -vp "active" | awk '/^VOL/ {print $3}'
