Hello Everibody,
I try to extend a vg00 with the following commnad:
vgextend -A y -x y /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

But the output showme the following error:
vgextend: Couldn't open physical volume "/dev/rdisk/disk4_p2":
Verification of unique LVM disk id on each disk in the volume group

and there is also an issue with EMC firmware and 11.31, a requiremenst for the SPC-2 mode enabled.

Not sure which case matches your problem, and whether it matches as no outputs are pasted.....

Attach the info.

Do you want to mirror the root disk?

You must use

/dev/rdisk/disk5_p2

not only /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

Complete procedure for 11.31:

A 73GB disk should be large enough for vg00 - why do you want to extend it?

Anyway, did you pvcreate the disk?

Use /dev/rdisk/disk5 !

I doing but when try to extend vg00 show me the same error

[Michael Steele_2]

I don't think you want to use /dev/rdsk

Use /dev/dsk

Can you try adding the disk /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 in another VG to see whether is works....
