I still not understand well your point here. Yes the disks are LUN. What do you mean when saying to recreate at most 3-4 disks? I guess you mean to create a LUN which contains 3-4 disk like this. Then increase will be done at storage and reflect the change of LUN growth by chvg -g?

Second, you have 29 disks in this VG. Most probably many of these disks are very small compared to the size of the VG. I suppose most of these disks are LUNs anyway therefore it makes sense to recreate at most 3-4 of these disks with the same total size and put the VG on it there.

Short answer: you can't so backup, recreate and restore. You should do that anyway as i will explain further on:
and this:

For this to work you want to do away with the 1019-PP-per-disk maximum and hence it makes sense to recreate the new VG as a scalable VG where a PV can have a (practically) unlimited number of PPs. The slight penalty when managing scalable VGs in comparison to classical VGs is negligible.
I understand fro your point that we cannot convert that VG (it's big VG) to scalable to avoid "backup, recreate, restore".
But please see the things here:
on another server ( for illustration my thinking) below is the big VG, I can see we have the parameter "Max PPs per PV"
But on the scalable VG, the parameter "Max PPs per PV" seems disappeared
--> based on this I think if we convert the big VG to scalable VG, we can override that settings, in another word, we can add more disks with any size (without limited by 2032 or 3048 PPs)
Hi!
How to extend /usr partition in rootvg on AIX 4.3.3-09?
I guess first I'll have to decrease the size of other partition(s) in rootvg?
Thank you! (2 Replies)
on the disk array (EMC Clariion cx300):
we added 3 disk and extended the LUN corresponding to HP-9000 (rp7410)
on HP-UX 11.11:
diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0, show more disk space, but
vgdisplay vg13 does not show more space
So the problem is the disk had increased, but vgdisplay does not... (6 Replies)
I am running solaris 10 with Veritas. I want to extend a filesystem. It's an oracle partition (/ora12). How can I find out if there is space available to expand the filesystem and then how does one extend it.
I'm from the HPUX world and so LVM was always how I did things.
Thanks

OK I'm sure this question has been posed far too many times.
I have solaris 10 x86 with NO Veritas or Disksuite filesystems. Below is the output of df -k

Hi all,
I need to extend a lv, but unfortunately I do not have enough space on my mirrored Volume group.
I've planned to add 2 more disks to this vg (for mirroring)
But ... what's the next steps to extend my lv using these 2 disks with a valid mirroring ?

Hello,
I have redhat and centos systems that I've only been able to grow the VG by adding more disks. I've been searching the web for a way to extend a volume group by growing the physical disk only and not having to add a second disk. Is it possible?
I can do this with AIX, by just... (0 Replies)
