VGmodify

Mohammad Sanaullah — Mon, 21 May 2007 08:14:10 GMT

On a test server I had fixed the max lv to 2 by on vg by vgcreate -l 2 now i want to extend that number by 10 but thats not working as error shows:-

# vgmodify -l 10 vg03
vgmodify: The volume group "vg03" is active on this system.
Cannot perform requested change.
also while using

# vgmodify vg03 -l 10
vgmodify: -B must be specified in conjunction with a PV list
which command should i use as i tried these things first time.

thanks in Advance for supports.

Hi,

see the remarks for this command:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/vgmodify.1M.html

Perhaps you have to de-activate the VG first.

Anyway, 10 as the maximum for the LVOLs is a little less.

Hello,

Deactivate the VG before increasing max_lv:
# vgchange -a n vg03

Hi,
Try this

vgchnage -a n vg03

vgmodify -l 10 vg03

Hi Sanaullah,

The volume group can be active when reporting the configuration (-r) or displaying a table of available settings (-t). The volume group must be de-activated before vgmodify can perform any configuration changes

Hence De-activate the VG and and try again.

# vgchange -a n /dev/vg03
# vgmodify -l 10 /dev/vg03

Hope this helps you!!!

First you need to deactivate vg by vgchange -a n vg_name

Thanks for all the support but one thing is that after deactivating and modifying the VG we can not directly do any action on that VG without activating the same by

vgchange -a y

thank you all again
