How to extend a VG on 11.31 version

[Kavita Poonia]

Hello all,

I want to extend a Volume Group on a HP-UX server running on a version 11.31. But I am not able to, I am getting below error.


[root@visdbq02:/etc]#
#-> vgextend /dev/disk/disk327 /dev/vg_qc1
vgextend: Physical volume "/dev/vg_qc1" is not a block special file.
Usage: vgextend
[-f]
[-A Autobackup]
[-x Extensibility]
[-g PhysicalVoumeGroupName]
[-z SparePV]
VolumeGroupName PhysicalVolumePath ...
Note: The "-z" and "-f" options are not available for volume group version 2.0 or higher.
"PhysicalVolumePath": must be a block special file.


Please help me out with this.

Thanks & regards,
Kavita
