If your file system is vxfs, number of inodes will be increased automaticaly when necessary.

Hi Vishu,

use the fstyp command to check the fs type.
if its a vxfs it will automatically add the inode.#fstyp /dev/vg01/lvol1.Also check syslog.

check your maxusers and ninode kernel parameter settings and the current usage.

[Sandeep_Chaudhary]

u just have to increase maxusers parameter which in turn increase ninode parameter.

actually speaking vxfs doesnt require to specify inode manyally. It handles it on its own. But if u have not specify "-o largefile" option at the time of craetion when filesystem exeeds 2 GB it fails to create inode.to check which option u have used while creation filesystem is "mkfs -m /dev/vgname/lvolname".

This error should only occur on HFS file systems. See this thread:
