vgmodify: This operation can only be completed if PE number zero

[Jojo Castro]

Hi all,

i try to modify the MAX PE per PV in my volume group. But find below messages:

# vgmodify -e 16000 -n /dev/vggxarch1



Current Volume Group settings:

Max LV 255

Max PV 16

Max PE per PV 1287

PE Size (Mbytes) 16

VGRA Size (Kbytes) 240

vgmodify: This operation can only be completed if PE number zero on "/dev/rdsk/c8t10d1" is freed

vgmodify: This operation can only be completed if PE number zero on "/dev/rdsk/c8t10d5" is freed

What does this means?
how can I modify PE number to zero?
Does this affect the contents of the data currently residing in this volume group?

Thanks!
