vgextend not respond

[Pablo Salazar]

Hi to all,

I have a filsystem /u14 full. (100%)

Just 66 Mb free.

I need to extend the volumenGroup for increaze the space on filesystem on LogicalVolumen.

But, when i execute the next command line "vgextend vg04 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx" i don't know what is happening, because i don't have the prompt and i thing that the system is hangup.

Somebody can help me?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Pablo,

There may be a problem with the disks in your vg04. Look at the syslog.log file and see if you have any POWERFAILED or disk related errors.

Hi,

1. Unmount /u14
2. Check to see if vg04 has free extents
#vgdisplay -v /dev/vg04

3.Then try vgextent
4.Check if the disk drive has any errors.

HTH,
Piyush

Hi,
- try: # vgextend /dev/vg04 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx
if fails,
- is the cxtxdx a new disk?
- try: # vgdisplay -v /dev/vg04
- if cxtxdx already belongs to vg04, pls do a vgreduce to free this disk first(if cxtxdx ais new disk)
# vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0
then, try again,
# vgextend /dev/vg04 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

Hello!

Check that your disk is ok.
Create pv on the disk.

pvdisplay /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

Free Extents? Got milk?

lvdisplay /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

If its set to strict/contiguous, you may have an answer. It should not hang, it should delay and let you know there are not enough contiguous extents.

Hi Pablo,

check /etc/lvmconf for being occupied with more space with *.old files, which might have caused file sytem full and not allowing to write VG configuration file for the new disk. Release some space under it and see.

Use pvcreate on the disk before adding to VG.

Hi,

I forget this Post, so my problem was resolved by changing the bad FC Card.

Thanks to all people for your responses.
