DESCRIPTION

The evms_activate command discovers all EVMS volumes and activates kernel devices for all volumes that are not yet active. The command should be run at boot time so the file systems that reside on the volumes can be mounted. If EVMS volumes are listed in the /etc/fstab, evms_activate should be run before /etc/fstab is processed (which is distribution specific). If the root file system is on an EVMS volume, evms_activate should be run from the init-ramdisk.

OPTIONS

The following options can be used with evms_activate:

-d, --debug-level debug_level
Specify the amount of information that should be written to the log file. A numerical value between 0 and 9 can be specified, where a larger number generates more logging information. The following text values are also allowed:



critical

serious

error

warning

default

details

entry_exit

debug

extra

everything

"Critical" generates the least information and "everything" generates the most information. The default debug level is "default" or "5."

-l, --log-file log_file_name
Specify the location of the log file. The default value is /var/log/evms-engine.log.
-n, --node-name node_name
Specify the node in the cluster on which volumes should be activated. The default value is the local node. If EVMS is not running in a cluster, this option is ignored.
-q
Do not display any status information.
-v
Display verbose status information about the progress of the volume activation.
-h, -?, --help
Display a summary of the options available for evms_activate.
