lvextend of /stand

[jamshed]

When i try to extend my lvol1 next message appeared. What does it mean?
# lvextend -L 120 /dev/vg00/lvol1
lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol1" could not be extended.
Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy

Option No:1 ignite it & resize stand
Option:2 Try Kaps Method (Do a search in the forums ) This thread had been answered before

the reason for failure is that BOOT,SWAP and ROOT should be contigous. As such u do not have enough contegous space available.

The /, /stand and swap areas need to be contiguous. Therefore, there aren't going to be enough free extents. Unless you're willing to reduce other file systems and juggle the layout of your root volume, the easiest way to extend these areas is by doing an Ignite make_tape_recovery backup and then using that tape to rebuild your root volume.

Hi,

/stand is Allocation strict and contiguous. If you like to extend it you should create an Ignite (bootable) tape and restore your os.

How large/small is your /stand

/stand in my systems is about 100 mb.

Kind regards,

You need to add physical volume to the volume group vg00 (vgextend vg00) before lvextend.

James,

It is not possible to extend /stand. stand and root need to becontiguous. In order to boot the server. The best option is to create an ignite image/tape and restore it.
