Cannot vgmodify VG after pvmove-ing extent zero

[EU-Admins-UNIX]

Hi

I have increased 1 LUN on an EVA from 400 to 500GB.  The vgmodify review is showing the the MAX_PE_PER_PV  parametrer is not large enough.

Below is a vgmodify review

root@servername at /SNAP/probkup =>vgmodify -v -r -e 31999 -n -a -E vg_snap_probkup
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg_snap_probkup has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg_snap_probkup.conf

Current Volume Group settings:
Max LV 255
Max PV 16
Max PE per PV 25599
PE Size (Mbytes) 16
VGRA Size (Kbytes) 3376
The current and new Volume Group parameters differ.
"/dev/rdisk/disk649" new configuration requires PEs are renumbered lower
An update to the Volume Group IS required

New Volume Group settings:
Max LV 255
Max PV 16
Max PE per PV 31999
PE Size (Mbytes) 16
VGRA Size (Kbytes) 4192
Review complete. Volume group not modified

I'm confused.

How can I update the MAX_PE_PER_PV parameter to vgmodify the VG to use the full 500GB?

Also, do I need to lvextend afterwards?

Regards
