问题现象：
在AIX下新建LV，然后在LV上建表空间，出现WARNING（Oracle recommends creating new datafiles on devices with zero offset）
alter tablespace ZJ_DATA add datafile '/dev/rdata40_disk' size 2500M
Wed Apr 27 22:45:36 2011
WARNING: You are creating datafile /dev/rdata41_disk.
WARNING: Oracle recommends creating new datafiles on devices with zero offset. The command "/usr/sbin/mklv -y LVname -T O -w n -s n -r n VGname NumPPs" can be used. Please contact Oracle customer support for more details.
通过mklv -T O -y data40_disk oradatavg 1重建如上表空间后上述警告消失，运行一段时间数据库完全正常，可见数据文件已经正常写入该DATAFILE。
但无意中一次lslv对比了数据库上线时和刚刚建立的两个lv文件，发现在TYPE、DEVICESUBTYPE、RELOCATABLE、MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY、EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV
方面存在区别，详见如下。

为了鉴证MKLV命令的默认参数，我们来继续几个做测试
方法一：mklv带有 -T O参数，但是不指定TYPE(-t) ，新建的lv带DEVICESUBTYPE属性，且TYPE:jfs
p550a:/home/oracle/dba#mklv -T O -y data40_disk oradatavg 1
data40_disk
p550a:/home/oracle/dba#lslv data40_disk
LOGICAL VOLUME: data40_disk VOLUME GROUP: oradatavg
LV IDENTIFIER: 000037750000d60000000112749c9dbb.173 PERMISSION: read/write
VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: closed/syncd
TYPE: jfs WRITE VERIFY: off
MAX LPs: 512 PP SIZE: 512 megabyte(s)
COPIES: 1 SCHED POLICY: parallel
LPs: 1 PPs: 1
STALE PPs: 0 BB POLICY: relocatable
INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: yes
INTRA-POLICY: middle UPPER BOUND: 32
MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: on/ACTIVE
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes
Serialize IO ?: NO
DEVICESUBTYPE : DS_LVZ
方法二：mklv带有 -T O参数，指定TYPE(-t 'raw') ，通过lslv可以看出，新建的lv带DEVICESUBTYPE属性，且TYPE:raw
p550a:/home/oracle/dba#mklv -T O -t 'raw' -y data41_disk oradatavg 1
data41_disk
p550a:/home/oracle/dba#lslv data41_disk

INTRA-POLICY: middle UPPER BOUND: 32
MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: on/ACTIVE
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes
Serialize IO ?: NO
DEVICESUBTYPE : DS_LVZ
方法三：通过smitlv，指定TYPE(-t 'raw')建lv ，通过lslv可以看出，新建的lv不带DEVICESUBTYPE属性，且TYPE:raw
p550a:/home/oracle/dba#smit lv

方法四：mklv不带 -T O参数，但指定TYPE(-t 'raw') ，通过lslv可以看出，新建的lv不带DEVICESUBTYPE属性，且RELOCATABLE: yes
p550a:/#mklv -t 'raw' -y data43_disk oradatavg 1

综合以上测试可以得出：
1、mklv默认的TYPE是jfs
2、默认建立普通类型的lv，LV类型是DS_LV，这种类型的LV，在lslv的命令中没有任何SUBTYPE类型说明（不带DEVICESUBTYPE : DS_LVZ）。本文章为转载内容，我们尊重原作者对文章享有的著作权。如有内容错误或侵权问题，欢迎原作者联系我们进行内容更正或删除文章。
