we try this before, the result as below. I don't know why is said not enough on hdiskpower6, as we checked, hdiskpower6 don't have enough space. Can we force to extend the size on the new disks? both error message on using smitty and command line.

Hi All,
I am new to AIX.
I need to extend one Logical Volume it is jfs type on On AIX 5.1.
I have enough free space on the volume group for this extension
Can I use smitty chjfs , will this do it without interruptions to the application that is using this Logical Volume.
Thanks

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?

Hi,
I am new to unix. I am working on Red Hat Linux and side by side on AIX also. After reading the concepts of Storage, I am now really confused regarding the terminologies
1)Physical Volume

Please help me to understand these concepts. (6 Replies)

Hello everyone,
I just read that while creating a logical volume(LV) we can choose the region of the physical volume (PV) in which the LV should be created.
When I say region I mean: outer edge - outer middle - center - inner middle and inner edge.
Can anyone help me understand the utility... (11 Replies)

lvextend
LVEXTEND(8) System Manager's Manual LVEXTEND(8)NAME
lvextend - extend the size of a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvextend [--alloc AllocationPolicy] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-i|--stripes Stripes [-I|--stripesize
StripeSize]] {-l|--extents [+]LogicalExtentsNumber[%{VG|LV|PVS|FREE|ORIGIN}] | -L|--size [+]LogicalVolumeSize[bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE]}
[-f|--force] [-n|--nofsck] [-r|--resizefs] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath[:PE[-PE]]...]
DESCRIPTION
lvextend allows you to extend the size of a logical volume. Extension of snapshot logical volumes (see lvcreate(8) for information to cre-
ate snapshots) is supported as well. But to change the number of copies in a mirrored logical volume use lvconvert(8).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible
udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre-
ates.
-l, --extents [+]LogicalExtentsNumber[%{VG|LV|PVS|FREE|ORIGIN}]
Extend or set the logical volume size in units of logical extents. With the + sign the value is added to the actual size of the
logical volume and without it, the value is taken as an absolute one. The number can also be expressed as a percentage of the total
space in the Volume Group with the suffix %VG, relative to the existing size of the Logical Volume with the suffix %LV, of the
remaining free space for the specified PhysicalVolume(s) with the suffix %PVS, as a percentage of the remaining free space in the
Volume Group with the suffix %FREE, or (for a snapshot) as a percentage of the total space in the Origin Logical Volume with the
suffix %ORIGIN. The resulting value is rounded upward.
-L, --size [+]LogicalVolumeSize[bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE]
Extend or set the logical volume size in units of megabytes. A size suffix of M for megabytes, G for gigabytes, T for terabytes, P
for petabytes or E for exabytes is optional. With the + sign the value is added to the actual size of the logical volume and with-
out it, the value is taken as an absolute one.
-i, --stripes Stripes
Gives the number of stripes for the extension. Not applicable to LVs using the original metadata LVM format, which must use a sin-
gle value throughout.
-I, --stripesize StripeSize
Gives the number of kilobytes for the granularity of the stripes. Not applicable to LVs using the original metadata LVM format,
which must use a single value throughout.
StripeSize must be 2^n (n = 2 to 9)
-f, --force
Proceed with size extension without prompting.
-n, --nofsck
Do not perform fsck before extending filesystem when filesystem requires it. You may need to use --force to proceed with this
option.
-r, --resizefs
Resize underlying filesystem together with the logical volume using fsadm(8).
Examples
"lvextend -L +54 /dev/vg01/lvol10 /dev/sdk3" tries to extend the size of that logical volume by 54MB on physical volume /dev/sdk3. This is
only possible if /dev/sdk3 is a member of volume group vg01 and there are enough free physical extents in it.
"lvextend /dev/vg01/lvol01 /dev/sdk3" tries to extend the size of that logical volume by the amount of free space on physical volume
/dev/sdk3. This is equivalent to specifying "-l +100%PVS" on the command line.
"lvextend -L+16M vg01/lvol01 /dev/sda:8-9 /dev/sdb:8-9"
tries to extend a logical volume "vg01/lvol01" by 16MB using physical extents /dev/sda:8-9 and /dev/sdb:8-9 for allocation of extents.
