need help with Volume group config

[Mark Harshman_1]

I have a volume group that is set to the default max. value of 16 PV's. I need to increase this value. Can someone help? thanks

Mark,

You have to specify that when issuing the vgcreate command. Re-create your volume group and use the -p option to specify maximum physical volumes.

Best Regards,

Hi Mark,

you cannot increase the value of Max PE once the vg has been created. This parameter value is specified at the time of VG creation only and cannot be modified later. you'll have to create a new VG.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mark,

I'm sorry, but the parameter is max PV and not Max PE. Sorry for the typo mistake.

thanks. I was afraid that was going to be the answer...

Hi Mark:

Sorry, you're stuck. 'max_pe', 'max_lv', 'max_pv' and 'pe_zize' are set during the volume group creation ('vgcreate') and are immutable without recreating the volume group.

Regards!
