Chapter 7. LVM Administration with

the LVM GUI

In addition to the Command Line Interface (CLI), LVM provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

which you can use to configure LVM logical volumes. You can bring up this utility by typing sys-

tem-config-lvm. The LVM chapter of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide provides

step-by-step instructions for configuring an LVM logical volume using this utility.

In addition, the LVM GUI is availalbe as part of the Conga management interface. For informa-

tion on using the LVM GUI with Conga, see the online help for Conga.
