Issue with vgextend command

Hello,

I have a rp3440 server connected to a EVA bay.
I trying to extend a VG and I have this error :

>vgextend vgEV30 /dev/dsk/c15t2d5
vgextend: IO error on Physical Volume device /dev/dsk/c15t2d5:

Of course I have launched pvcreate anf newfs command without issue...

The size of c15t2d5 is 500GO... perhaps this is a LVM limit ?

Somenone can help me ?


Thanks,

Re: Issue with vgextend command

Hi

newfs command? Not sure what this would do to a disk as a newfs command is only for a logical volume once you have done a lvcreate command. Try pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c15t2d5 then repeat your vgextend command.

Re: Issue with vgextend command

have you done a pvcreate before the vgextend

pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c15t2d5
or
pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c15t2d5

Re: Issue with vgextend command

Says it's an I/O error...

Does
diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c15t2d5
show correctly?

How about a dd?


dd if=/dev/rdsk/c15t2d5 of=/dev/null bs=64k

Any errors?

I'm stupid, I made newfs before vgextend.....


Sorry....
