Logical Volume

Identification of logical volume store and logical volume is explained first.

A logical volume store has a UUID and a name for its identification. The UUID is generated on creation and it can be used as a unique identifier. The name is specified on creation and can be renamed. Either UUID or name is used to access logical volume store in RPCs.

A logical volume has a UUID and a name for its identification. The UUID of the logical volume is generated on creation and it can be unique identifier. The alias of the logical volume takes the format lvs_name/lvol_name where:

  • lvs_name is the name of the logical volume store.
  • lvol_name is specified on creation and can be renamed.
