I have a filesystem that I'm trying to grow but it's giving me the error:
Code:
0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.
There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes
to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command
should be retried with different allocation characteristics.
I'm missing something but don't know enough about AIX filesystems to know what it is. The command lsvg mvg shows the following:
Code:
VOLUME GROUP: myvg VG IDENTIFIER: 00f6757600004c000000013f3e5e8f1f

And the output of lslv mylv:

I think "PP SIZE" is the problem, but I'm not 100% sure. How can I increase the fs without taking the system offline?
Huh? Am I misreading that number? That's not 1TB of available storage?
I'm looking at the free PPs in the output.

Ok, I figured this out. The volume group has 2 PVs. When I expanded the disk, only 1 PV was expanded. I expanded the second disk and then rescanned the vg using chvg -g myvg.
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!

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)

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)

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 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.
Another issue, that... (2 Replies)
