Increasing Volume group size

[Pete Randall]

You don't have that many extents available. The new volume gave you 5119 more 4MB extents and your asking for an additional 40000MB or 60000 total. Somewhere around 40,000 total should work.

40,000 took. When I do a bdf it is still showing 100% full. Do I need unmount the directory and then mount it again?

[Pete Randall]

Now you need to extend the file system that resides within the logical volume: extendfs. See the example in the extendfs man page.

Dear randy,
you have not sufficent Free PE Extents for to create logical volume of size 60 GB

accourding to free PE you can extend upto 40GB Size of that logicalvolume

[Randy Durden]

Pete,

Thanks for all the help. The customer seems satisfied for now. I don't know why it would not recognize the entire 60G LUN.

[Pete Randall]

Just a restriction left over from the old days. Disks never used to grow back then.

And - you're welcome!

because PE per PV is for that volume group is 5119. so, it will add only 20GB from that 60GB LUN to that VG

Max PE per PV 5119
PE Size (Mbytes) 4

5119 * 4 = 20000M
