HPUX 11.31 vgextend fail

Hi,

when i try to add new disk, it's an XP disk from SAN (lun) to the volume group, it fails because "TOO MANY LINKS"

Code:
:/etc/cmcluster/icastst$ vgextend /dev/vgicastst /dev/disk/disk684
Current path "/dev/dsk/c51t8d3" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c51t8d4" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c51t8d2" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c51t8d1" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c51t8d0" is an alternate link, skip.
vgextend: Couldn't install the physical volume "/dev/disk/disk684".

Vgdisplay shows
Code:
Max PV 16
Cur PV 16
Act PV 16

Shall we increase the max PV?

if yes, how and please provide step by step.

Thank you.

Im not sure, but you may have on 11.31 the command vgmodify, have a look for Im afraid you cannot change those values after vgcreate ( but again I have no 11.31 to check...)
