Mirror

[Rafael Casero]

Why I'm getting this error while I try to lvextend to the mirroed disk , how would I correct this

miaux12: / =>lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2
The newly allocated mirrors are now being synchronized. This operation will
take some time. Please wait ....
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol1" has been successfully extended.

Shalom,

You need to break the mirrors if they exist, get that disk out of the volume group with vgreduce and get the disk redone via LVM pvcreate.

Thats what I'd try.

How would I split the mirror on itanium...

[TwoProc]

reduce:
lvreduce /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2

then re-pvcreate:

pvcreate -f /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2

then put it back as before:

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0s2

*Note: I'm not familiar with the "s2" extension: but I'm guessing that is for Itanium, so I just parroted the device as per what you had. But, the technique is the same.

Thanks,

I was able to find a forum with the result...
