Hi Reshman,

Is it a typo or do you have an extra slash after the 6 and before the d ?

Currently the max limit is 8 paths to a PV (seven alternates and one primary).

Re: vgextend error

How can you suggest a patch for 11.00 without knowing the current OS version?


As Francis said, there are limits.

Do you want to extend the alternate links?

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: vgextend error

Sorry - I was refering to a instance we had a few years ago with hpux 11.0. The message fitted what I had.

Torsten is right, I have given you information that applies to only 11.0.

Apoligies if you are running a later OS.

Re: vgextend error

How about a "vgdisplay -v" for this VG?

Hope this helps!
