hi,
i have a volume on a LUN of an EMC-storage and i need to increase the
size.
i could increase the size of the LUN on the EMC, i could increase the
size of the disk for solaris, but how can i tell the veritas volume
manager that the disk is larger now?
what i've done:
1. LUN on EMC
2. in the format menue i' ve chosen the type to autoconfigure, i can see
the bigger disk in solaris, then in the partitions menu i've created the
VTOC like before, only one slice on 7 (and 2 for backup, like before) for
the whole space.
but VxVM still means
# vxassist -g datadg maxsize
VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-752 No volume can be created within the given
constraints
# vxassist -g datadg maxgrow datavol
VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-1178 Volume datavol cannot be extend within the
given constraints
so i tried "vxdctl enable", but still the same... but i can still work
with the volume.. it must be written in the privatregion somewhere...
any ideas?
Using the terminology of vxvm, you take some disks and put them together to make a disk group. Then you carve volumes out of the disk group. It sounds like you have increased the size of a disk and you want vxvm to notice the increased size. Short of reinitializing the disk, I'm not sure you can do that. If you can, I feel that it would be one of the "disk" type commands rather than a "volume" type command. I think you're expected to add a disk to the disk group and then increase the volumes.
didn't know that option, it only comes with the Storage Foundation license, well, no problem here. still a strange behavior, but whatever, it works. I've tried it in a test-environment:
it works live in my test, but veritas recommendation is to do it offline.
Hello all,
So I made a rookie mistake today. I forgot to remove my disk from my disk group, before running the following command:for i in `ioscan -fnN | awk /NO/'{print $3}'`
do
rmsf -H $i
done
I am trying to run the following command, but not having any luck obviously:vxdg -g dgvol1 rmdisk... (0 Replies)

I have VxVM 5.1 running on Solaris-10. I have to increase a application file-system and storage team gave me a lun. After scanning scsi port by cfgadm, I can see them in format output. I labelled it, but I am not able to see them in "vxdisk list".
I already tried commands -->

Hi,

Right now I have some processes going and it's eating up the disk space. I need to grow this lun by atleast 30GB otherwise the process with bomb... (5 Replies)
I have a list of LUN ID, my task is to find if disk has been added or not. How do I do that? I have been searching the forum and not able to find answer.
