Can you provide vgdisplay -v vgdncptordb here?

Thanks

Hi,

According to LV output == Allocation PVG-strict/distributed

Turning this off should resolve this issue.

Best Regards,

@Ajaysen
Why are you creating new thread for this, you are solving this issue in other thread.

Please provide us with output of:
# vgdisplay -v vgdncptordb
# lvdisplay -v /dev/vgdncptordb/lvol12 | head -n 40

Thanks.

Thanks Prashanth, That solved the problem.

Mahmood: The vgdisplay -v output is several pages long. I think I have about 70+ devices associated with it. Thanks.

Appreciate all your help.

The system was looking for a pvg instead of a device to extend the logical volume. As indicated by prashanth, it is controlled by the "Allocation PVG-strict/distributed" value.

As this was my first post, I just getting used to this.

Appreciate all your help verymuch.
