Mirror write performance on swap logical volumes may be enhanced by disabling the Mirror Write Cache. If the primary swap volume is also configured as a dump volume, it’s critical to change the consistency recovery policy to NONE to avoid corrupting dump data in case of a system panic.
- Check the current consistency recovery policy on lvol2.
# lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol2 | grep Consistency
Consistency Recovery MWC
- Reboot the system.
# shutdown –ry 0
- Interrupt the boot process and boot to the LVM maintenance mode. Note: You will need a telnet window to the system console. In the HPVL, you will connect via a terminal server, so use the host name and root password for the initial login.
