Extending Lvol

[Fabian Briseño]

In trying to extend an lvol i get the following message:

The command used to extend logical volumes, /sbin/lvextend, has
failed. The stderr output from the command is shown below. The logical volume has not been extended.

lvextend: "LogicalExtentsNumber" is not bigger than current setting.

What am I doing wrong ?, Im using SAM by the way, i have not tryed doing it manually.

Fabian,

What are the current LVOL & new sizes ? Make sure that the new size is higher than the existsing one.

If you want to use commands...

lvextend -L < The New Size In MB's > -m mirror_copies} lv_path [pv_path ... | pvg_name ...]

The current lvol was 1024 MB the next size would have been 1536 MB.

I unmounted the file system and did the extension process in SAM and the the error from my first post appeared.

The weird thing is that once i mounted the filesystem if i go to SAM the current size for the lvol is displayed 1536 MB

but if I do a bdf from the command prompt I get 1024 MB
