The PTYVG volume partition is divided into three logical volumes. These are the PTYVG-OS, the PTYVG-OS_bak, and the PTYVG-LOGS volume. The PTYVG volume partition contains the OS information.

The following table illustrates the partitioning of the volumes in the PTYVG directory.

Logical Volume	Description	Default Size
PTYVG-OS	The root partition	16 GB
PTYVG-OS_bak	The backup for the root partition	16 GB
PTYVG-LOGS	The logs that are in the /var/log directory	12 GB

In an ESA, the physical volume is divided into the following three logical volume groups:
