Details

LVM RAID is a way to create a Logical Volume (LV) that uses multiple physical devices to improve performance or tolerate device failures. In LVM, the physical devices are Physical Volumes (PVs) in a single Volume Group (VG).

This tutorial will work with the Oracle Linux Volume Manager utilities to create a RAID logical volume and then address a disk failure.

Objectives

  • Create a RAID logical volume
  • Resize a RAID logical volume
  • Recover a failed RAID device

Prerequisites

  • Minimum of a single Oracle Linux system

  • Each system should have Oracle Linux installed and configured with:

    • A non-root user account with sudo access
    • Access to the Internet
    • Six or more block devices attached to the system
