lvextend -m 1.... issue

[OLIVA_1]

Hello,

I have an issue when I launch this command:

(/)(root)#lvextend -m 1 /dev/vgp30data/lvsapdata1
lvextend: Couldn't extend the logical volume:
The specified logical volume does not exist.
lvextend: The LVM device driver could not extend the
logical volume "/dev/vgp30data/lvsapdata1".
(/)(root)#

However the LV exist :

Someone knows why I have this error message ?

Thanks,

Hi Oliva:

Make sure that you have both cooked and a raw device files:

# ls -l /dev/vgp30data/*lvsapdata1

...You should see something like:

brw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x000007 Jun 16 2003 /dev/vgp30data/lvsapdata1

crw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x000007 Feb 4 1999 /dev/vgp30data/rlvsapdata1

Regards!

...JRF...

Shalom,

strings /etc/lvmtab

pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/...
# on the disk that the logical volume is supposedly on.

dmesg -
# try lvextend command
dmesg

Look for additional diags in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

The report seems consistent but.

No issue with pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/... or dmesg or in syslog.log file....

[Torsten.]

You still have the problem with /etc/lvmtab

/dev/
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0
/dev/dsk/c2t2d0
