Hi

From the information provided.

vgdisplay vguxd01
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vguxd01

Total PE 71664
Alloc PE 26855
Free PE 44809 ==> Shows enough PE available
Total PVG 0 ==> But no PVG defined.

-----------------
--- Logical volumes ---
LV Name /dev/vguxd01/lv_restore
VG Name /dev/vguxd01

Allocation PVG-strict/distributed ==> allocaion policy is the issue. configure it accordingly.

check allocation policies
=================================

Up to your requirement , you may create PVGgroup. I dont know if it is really useful your environment.

if it is not required , you may change the prolicies to nonstrict nondistributed..


When the distributed allocation policy
is turned off, all available free
extents are allocated from each
available physical volume before
proceeding to the next available
physical volume.


The distributed allocation policy
REQUIRES the PVG-strict allocation
policy ( -s g ) to ensure that mirrors
of distributed extents do not overlap
(for maximum availability).

Sooraj
