Can't lvextend

It doesn't say contiguous.

I'm not sure of the problem????? Someone can help you but, The rabbit comment:::

When you assign more than 7 points to a post, a rabbit shows up on the post. Most forum users will think the issue has been resolved. You probably want to start a new post and paste the info from this one into it.

Shalom,

lvdisplay will show you.

It says allocation strict.

Which probably means my lvchange command will work.

Try it, it can't hurt anything.

YEP, Steven is correct. Check out your allocation line.

I think that is incorrect. I don't think strict has anything to do with this.

If you look at the man page for lvcreate you will see that '-S y', which is the default, really only affects mirrors. To summarize the man page: "Mirrors of a logical extent cannot share the same physical volume." So since this is not mirrored the strict allocation policy really has no effect.

You could try doing an 'lvchange -S n /dev/data/u01' but I don't think it would help.

I think the basis of the error is the "Couldn't retrieve the list of the physical volumes...."

I'm not sure why that is coming up especially when vgdisplay looks OK and you said /etc/lvmtab looks OK. If you have a support contract it may be time to involve HP as well.

[Terrence]

lvchange did not solve the issue. Here is my lvmtab:

#strings /etc/lvmtab
/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0
/dev/dsk/c2t2d0
/dev/data
/dev/dsk/c4t0d0
/dev/dsk/c6t0d1
/dev/dsk/c4t0d1
/dev/dsk/c6t0d0
/dev/dsk/c6t0d7
/dev/dsk/c4t0d7

I will open a call with HP. Sigh
