Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed. 

If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. 

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, pvchange behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).

EXAMPLES

Prohibit allocation of additional physical extents to a physical volume:

pvchange -x n /dev/dsk/c2d0s2

Allow allocation of additional physical extents to a physical volume:

pvchange -x y /dev/dsk/c2d0s2
