Hello Emily,

-L is in MB..

30000000 = 30TB.. is this the size you are looking for.. it is not supported in HPUX now.

Check the size and try again.
man lvextend should help

Hi Emily,

The Size specified in lvextend with "-L" option is in MB itself. So if you want size 30MB then following is the command used:

#lvextend -L 30 /dev/vg01/lvol3 /dev/dsk/c6t4d0 /dev/dsk/c7t12d0

Max Limit for LV is "16777216" in MB that means "16777" GB , which is more than enough I believe.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.
