change max pv for volume group

[Andreas Barth]

Hallo,

we have to change the parameter max pv`s of our Volume Group. What`s the command to do this. We reached the maximum size of disks in this vg but we need more space.

Thank`s for reply.

best regards

Andreas

You need to recreate the vg and while creating vg need to specify -p option

Hi Andreas,
Max pv parameter is set during the creation of volume group.now if you want to change it then first take backup of your data.
Its better to create vg as suggested by Mrudul.
Use vgcreate command with following option:
-p max_pv-->Set the maximum number of physical volumes that the volume group is allowed to contain. The default value for max_pv is 16. The maximum number of physical volumes can be a value in the range 1 to 255.

vgcreate -p
[ Min 16 & Max 255 ]

Hi,

changing of parameters like this is only possible with HP-UX 11i v3.
For all previous versions see the posts above.

For more information about vgmodify see

run

vgmodify -t vgxx

to see the possible values.
