Operating Systems Linux Red Hat pvcreate not working Post 302714523 by thmnetwork on Friday 12th of October 2012 09:21:17 AM

It's giving an input/output error, fdisk will likely fail as well and you should be able to pvcreate whole disks and LUNs without needing to partition them. pvcreate is just saying it can't write data which is 100% of the time because I/O to the disk fails (you can do a dd to/from it and you'll likely get an error there as well, for example). So the issue isn't with pvcreate, that's just reporting an underlying error.

Just from my experience, this is probably a SAN configuration issue (definitely not a RHEL issue), where the LUNs are presented to the RHEL system but something is preventing actual I/O with those LUNs from happening. I'd have the SAN guys check the zoning configuration to make sure everything is kosher there.

NAME
vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--restoremissing] [-f|--force] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [ PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS ] VolumeGroupName PhysicalDevicePath [PhysicalDevicePath...] DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size. Moreover, it allows you to re-add a physical volume that has gone missing previously, due to a transient device failure, without re-ini- tialising it. Use vgextend --restoremissing to that effect. If PhysicalDevicePath was not previously configured for LVM with pvcreate (8), the device will be initialized with the same default values used with pvcreate. If non-default pvcreate values are are desired, they may be given on the commandline with the same options as pvcre- ate. See PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS for available options. Note that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid, and --physi- calvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation is needed, use pvcreate (8) and vgcfgrestore (8). OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available for initializing physical devices in the volume group. These options are further described in the pvcreate man page. -f, --force -y, --yes -Z, --zero y|n --labelsector sector --metadatasize size [--metadataignorey|n] --pvmetadatacopies copies --dataalignment alignment --dataalignmentoffset alignment_offset Examples "vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) ) "/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4".
