vgcreate isseue

[Sigma]

Hello,

I'm createing vg01 with the following errors:

vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c6t0d0
"Icrease the number of physical extents per physical volume to 52504."
"VGRA for the disk is too big for the specified parameter. Increase the extent size or decrease max_PVs/max_LVs.

Thanks,
SBB

What size is that disk?

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0

try something like:

vgcreate -s 32 -p 128 /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c6t0d0


Can you post ll /dev/vg01

Rgds...Geoff

The error message is telling exactly what to do. Note that the maximum number of pe's is 64Ki so that the product of max_pe's and pe_size (default 4MiB) must accomodate the largest anticipated PV (disk or LUN) in the VG. You should probably add a -s 8 argument to increase the pe_size to 8MiB.

Man vgcreate for details.

or if you are not comforatble with the command line, you can use SAM to customize the parameters. It works quite well in this regard (for me at least)
