So, what is most likely the problem: one of the PV - physical volumes is (nearly) full, while the other is not.
Literally, what the message says is that it cannot provide an equal number of PP for each PP on different physical volumns - so it cannot satisify the mirroring specification.
While the volume group may have sufficient space, it is nearly all coming from one "physical" volume.
Potential solutions:
a) migrate an un-mirrored logical volume from the full disk, to the less full disk
b) if the LUNs are already mirrored in the storage (e.g., SAN LUN that is actually a RAID5) you could consider un-mirroring the logical volume.
c) add a new LUN to the volume group.
d) - what you did, saw it after posting -- good job!

Hi Everybody,
I want to know the names & locations of the common AIX files which it's size keep growing. I think there is a procedure to clean these files to avoid the space overflow, I wish also if anybody can tell me what is the proper procedure to make more available space.

Hi,
I have an iSCSI LUN of 200GB. I increased it to 250GB and when I try to increase the size of the vg, I'm getting an error that none of the volumes have increased in size.
How can I get the OS to see the additional 50GB?

Hi,
/opt on my disk is almost 90%. I thought of growing it. I followed the below procedure:
1. added a new hard disk
2. formatted the same with ufs
3. created a slice and tried to label it as "opt" with "wm" permissions.
but got stuck at 3 as it is not allowing me to label the slice... (9 Replies)
Greeting Forumers!
I've been asked to increase space in a FS that is currently 740G in size:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on

Ok so I just installed Solaris 10 on my x86 laptop. But I too the defaults and now all of the FS's are very small. I can't install anything. The drive is a 40GB but only about 11GB is being seen and used. How can I get the OS to see and use the rest of the drive? I was just going to reinstall, but... (3 Replies)
I am trying to be pro-active and prevent FS from filling up. I know about

I have a LUN presented to a Linux system and would like to ask if someone can advise if the logical volume /dev/mapper/VGOra-LVOra 12G 11G 659M 95% /usr/app/oracle can be extended. Is there any free space to allocate.... The LUN (25G) has been configured as follows:

vgsplit
VGSPLIT(8) System Manager's Manual VGSPLIT(8)NAME
vgsplit - split a volume group into two
SYNOPSIS
vgsplit [--alloc AllocationPolicy] [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-c|--clustered {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--maxlogicalvolumes MaxLogi-
calVolumes] [-M|--metadatatype type] [-p|--maxphysicalvolumes MaxPhysicalVolumes] [-n|--name LogicalVolumeName] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose]
SourceVolumeGroupName DestinationVolumeGroupName [ PhysicalVolumePath ...]
DESCRIPTION
vgsplit moves one or more physical volumes from SourceVolumeGroupName into DestinationVolumeGroupName. The physical volumes moved can be
specified either explicitly via PhysicalVolumePath, or implicitly by -n LogicalVolumeName, in which case only physical volumes underlying
the specified logical volume will be moved.
If DestinationVolumeGroupName does not exist, a new volume group will be created. The default attributes for the new volume group can be
specified with --alloc, --clustered, --maxlogicalvolumes, --metadatatype, and --maxphysicalvolumes (see vgcreate(8) for a description of
these options). If any of these options are not given, default attribute(s) are taken from SourceVolumeGroupName.
If DestinationVolumeGroupName does exist, it will be checked for compatibility with SourceVolumeGroupName before the physical volumes are
moved. Specifying any of the above default volume group attributes with an existing destination volume group is an error, and no split will
occur.
Logical volumes cannot be split between volume groups. Vgsplit(8) only moves complete physical volumes: To move part of a physical volume,
use pvmove(8). Each existing logical volume must be entirely on the physical volumes forming either the source or the destination volume
group. For this reason, vgsplit(8) may fail with an error if a split would result in a logical volume being split across volume groups.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
