LVM activate query in RHEL4

Hi,
I want to know, is there any way I can find out whether my physical volume is activate or deactivate? For example, I have activate my physical volume group say vg_lvm through "vgchange" command.

# vgchange -a Y vg_lvm

Now, how I will know that "vg_lvm" is activate? Is there any way to query or is any config file changes by executing above command? So that I can look for that file or any sorts of command available? Below I have shown the output of vgdisplay command. How to find out from that my vol group is active / deactive?

[root@mtasw317 ~]# vgdisplay -A
--- Volume group ---
VG Name vg_lvm
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 2
Metadata Sequence No 2
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 1
Open LV 0
Max PV 0
Cur PV 2
Act PV 2
VG Size 1.12 GB
PE Size 4.00 MB
Total PE 288
Alloc PE / Size 25 / 100.00 MB
Free PE / Size 263 / 1.03 GB
VG UUID ci9mLc-JuVk-pUBV-gtYd-T9F2-LxsC-uLXGcb


The Opearating System I am using is RHEL 4. Please help me in finding the solutions.

If it's listed by vgdisplay, it's active.

 

Thanks for your reply. Even for a deactivated volume group, vgdisplay also shows the same attribute. I have deactivated thru command:

vgchange -a n vg_lvm

and execute the vgdisplay command and it displays the same results like vol group activate. IS there is any other way to find out?
