https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/vgextend/m-p/717998#M2722 I have 2 HP-UX systems which are connected to an Msa1000. I have made all the configs on 2/8 switch and Msa100. When I discover disks on Unix side I see disks properly, but when I try to create a VG containing Msa1000 disks I get the message<BR /> <BR /> x vgextend: Couldn't install the physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t8d2". Tooo many links <BR /> vgdisplay command shows me more than 1 PV as alternate links. I see that it works fine but this message seems to be annoying. Any idea why this happens ? Missing or wrong driver ?<BR /> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 05:01:46 GMT Korhan Altan_1 2006-11-14T05:01:46Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/vgextend/m-p/717998#M2722 I have 2 HP-UX systems which are connected to an Msa1000.

You do need to reboot the HP-UX server(s) after the change.
