unable to configure swap logical volume

[Nick D'Angelo]

I was trying to do a couple of things:

1) mirror swap
2) extend a logical volume and it gave me an error:

lvlnboot: Unable to configure swap logical volume.
Swap logical volume size beyond the IODC max address?

Tips/suggestions?

Thank you,

Hi Nick,

Take a look at the thread below,

You may need a PDC firmware upgrade.

hope this helps.

Hi,

Try creating an second logical volume and put swap on it.

Did you adjust the right kernel parameters:

maxswapchunks...

take a look at this URL:

Were you mirroring the boot drive? If you were you must be sure to mirror in the proper sequence: /stand (usually lvol1), boot/swap (usually lvol2), and then / (usually lvol3).
