Adding disk to volume group in service guard environment

Waqar Razi — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:27:46 GMT

I am an HPUX administrator and new to Red Hat Linux. We are adding disk to a vg01 that is under service guard environment. In HPUX we make a map file and then import vg on the other node. What is the proceedure in Linux. Can some one please provide me steps to do this task.

Hello,

Use vgextend command to add new disks to existing volume group from primary node then simply run vgscan on second node. That should be it.

If a problem occurs, a reboot of both nodes is necessary afer adding the disk. However this should not be the case.

Cheers
