salt.states.lvm¶

Management of Linux logical volumes¶

A state module to manage LVMs

/dev/sda:
  lvm.pv_present

my_vg:
  lvm.vg_present:
    - devices: /dev/sda

lvroot:
  lvm.lv_present:
    - vgname: my_vg
    - size: 10G
    - stripes: 5
    - stripesize: 8K

salt.states.lvm.lv_absent(name, vgname=None)¶

Remove a given existing logical volume from a named existing volume group

name: The logical volume to remove
vgname: The volume group name

salt.states.lvm.lv_present(name, vgname=None, size=None, extents=None, snapshot=None, pv='', **kwargs)¶

Create a new logical volume

name: The name of the logical volume
vgname: The volume group name for this logical volume
size: The initial size of the logical volume
extents: The number of logical extents to allocate
snapshot: The name of the snapshot
pv: The physical volume to use
kwargs: Any supported options to lvcreate. See linux_lvm for more details.

salt.states.lvm.pv_absent(name)¶

Ensure that a Physical Device is not being used by lvm

name: The device name to initialize.

salt.states.lvm.pv_present(name, **kwargs)¶

Set a physical device to be used as an LVM physical volume

name: The device name to initialize.
kwargs: Any supported options to pvcreate. See linux_lvm for more details.

salt.states.lvm.vg_absent(name)¶

Remove an LVM volume group

name: The volume group to remove

salt.states.lvm.vg_present(name, devices=None, **kwargs)¶

Create an LVM volume group

name: The volume group name to create
devices: A list of devices that will be added to the volume group
kwargs: Any supported options to vgcreate. See linux_lvm for more details.
