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,

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)

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.

VGDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual VGDISPLAY(8)NAME
vgdisplay - display attributes of volume groups
SYNOPSIS
vgdisplay [-A|--activevolumegroups] [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] [--ver-
sion] [VolumeGroupName...]
DESCRIPTION
vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all volume groups if none is given) with it's physical and logical vol-
umes and their sizes etc.
OPTIONS
-A, --activevolumegroups
Only select the active volume groups.
-c, --colon
Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
The values are:
1 volume group name
2 volume group access
3 volume group status
4 internal volume group number
5 maximum number of logical volumes
6 current number of logical volumes
7 open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
8 maximum logical volume size
9 maximum number of physical volumes
10 current number of physical volumes
11 actual number of physical volumes
12 size of volume group in kilobytes
13 physical extent size
14 total number of physical extents for this volume group
15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group
16 free number of physical extents for this volume group
17 uuid of volume group
-d, --debug
Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
-D, --disk
Show attributes from the volume group descriptor area on disk(s). Without this switch they are shown from the kernel. Useful if
the volume group isn't activated.
-h, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
-s, --short
Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups.
-v, --verbose
Display verbose information containing long listings of physical and logical volumes. If given twice, also display verbose runtime
information of vgdisplay's activities.
--version
Display version and exit successfully.
DIAGNOSTICS
vgdisplay returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error:
1 error reading VGDA
2 volume group doesn't exist
3 not all physical volumes of volume group online
4 volume group not found
5 no volume groups found at all
6 error reading VGDA from lvmtab
95 driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version
97 error locking logical volume manager
98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
99 invalid command line
