Remove Mirrored Volume

Zean Wilmot — Mon, 01 Dec 2003 05:37:40 GMT

Hi

I have added a new disk to current Mirrored Volume Group.

As followed :
1.pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
2.vgextend vgXX /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
3.lvextend -m2 /dev/vg03/lvolx /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

But when i turn off strict allocation policy with lvchange -C n /dev/vg01/lvol12 and issue the following command to extend i get the following message:
lvextend -L 18384 /dev/vg01/lvol12 /dev/dsk/c5t10d0
Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg01/lvol12" could not be extended.

How can i move this Mirrored disk to enable me to do the following.(please read attachment)

Thanks
Zean

lvchange -C doesn't change the "strict" part of the allocation policy, only the "contiguous" part. You will need the "-s n" option too. However, this might mean taht you end up having your data and the mirror on the same disk.
