Operating Systems AIX Restvg does not assign the correct PP size to volume group Post 302906997 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 25th of June 2014 07:34:20 AM

Which resource is it running out of? It is PPs, total space, PVs, unable to keep mirrors, etc.?

If the disks are larger and/or there are more of them, then the creation of the volume group may automatically adjust the PP size to suit to keep within the total PP limit for the volume group.


With the question of mirrors, I have a server with local disk and therefore we have AIX LV mirrors. The DR server has a single large SAN disk and therefore no mirrors are required so it is quite complex to create the information file to run restvg with but not to try to create the mirrors. Could this be the problem?


Could you post your mkvgdata command, the savevg command and the output you get from your restvg command in CODE tags please? Personally, I just remove /tmp/vgdata and run savevg and mkvgdata is called automatically.



Thanks,
Robin

NAME
pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command clears the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume. The device may then be used by the file system or by other volume managers. The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group. The command only clears the LVM data structure on a disk if the disk does not belong to a volume group. This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group. If the physical volume to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume. Arguments recognizes the following arguments: pv_path The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables determines the language in which messages are displayed. If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)). If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)). EXAMPLES
