Extending striped LV across new disks

[Trevor McLachlan]

I was wondering if I have the correct syntax for extending a logial volume that is currently striped across 4 disks, that are full, and want to extend to 4 newly created disks. Is the syntax -

lvextend -L 120000 /dev/vg01/lvol1 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /dev/dsk/cxtxdx ??

With /dev/dsk/cxtxdx being the new disks ?

Thanks

Yes the command look ok.

Hi,

You will be able to extend like this.

BUT: if you want all the disks to be striped together you will need to rebuild the vg completly.

Hi,

You answered all our reply's with (N/A)

So I presume we did not answer your question.

Can you explain a bit more, if we didn't understand your question ?

The syntax of your example is correct !
