I have 2 local disks & OS is currently running on only one of the disks - c2t0d0. I am getting the following error when I am trying to vgextend my default VG to include the second disk (for OS Mirroring).
# vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
vgextend: Couldn't install the physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t1d0".
Device busy
Pls help

bdf
pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
I believe that disk is already mounted as whole disk.

Re: Unable to extend VG to idle disk
Thanks!
I was too quick to start this thread before even checking out whether the disk was 'pvcreated' or not. Now things are happening after
1. pvcreate -B -f /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 ...
The LVs are just getting extended now.
Thanks again.
