Operating Systems AIX Shrink Volume in V7000 Post 302792277 by funksen on Wednesday 10th of April 2013 04:21:06 AM

in my opinion, shrinking a lun without data loss can only be possible with additional software on the operating system, special drivers, that communicate with lvm

with the vio server in between, this is not an easy task I guess, because you are missing the direct mapping storage lun to aix pv, so you might need npiv



if you want to shrink luns online, you can use thin provisioned luns if your storage supports it
its not trivial, but possible to free space up after it has been claimed

NAME
tgt-setup-lun - creates a target, adds a device to the target and defines initiators that can connect to the target SYNOPSIS
tgt-setup-lun -d device -n target_name [initiator_IP1 initiator_IP2 ...] [-h] DESCRIPTION
Starts tgtd if necessary and creates a target according to the supplied target_name. The format of the target name is as follows: iqn.2001-04.com.<hostname>-<target_name> The target name must be unique. The script then adds the requested device to the target. If specific IP addresses are defined, it adds them to the list of allowed initia- tors for that target. If no IP addresses is defined, it defines that the target accepts any initiator. EXAMPLES
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81 and 192.168.10.82: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 192.168.10.82 Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections from any initiator: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target Display help: tgt-setup-lun -h AUTHOR
