lvextend error

masood bt — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:19:18 GMT

Urgent reply needed please.
I know one disk is removed from the VG. I think the problem I am facing is due to the strict allocation policy. How to overcome this now?

rc85odb2:/ # lvextend -L 32768 /dev/vg00/lv-oracle-u01
lvextend: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
lvextend: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lv-oracle-u01" could not be extended.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy

You are going to confuse anybody.

Please continue your other thread.

First you should fix the "missing disk problem" (replace the disk), than check if you have enough free extends.

We removed that disk a few days ago.
