Issue while Extending file system in vxvm
- 10 years ago
sapdata1 is a striped volume across 2 disks :
v sapdata1 - ENABLED ACTIVE 62914560 SELECT sapdata1-01 fsgen
pl sapdata1-01 sapdata1 ENABLED ACTIVE 62914560 STRIPE 2/128 RW
sd emcpower23s2-01 sapdata1-01 emcpower23s2 0 31457280 0/0 emcpower23 ENA
sd emcpower24s2-01 sapdata1-01 emcpower24s2 0 31457280 1/0 emcpower24 ENA(same disks used for sapdata3)
As per my previous post, a resize needs to maintain the same volume layout.
You will need to add a minimum of 2 disks to the diskgroup in order to grow this volume (and other volumes that are striped as well).

I would recommend you use maxgrow and not maxsize for growing filesystems as in post:
as this takes striping into account - i.e if you use maxgrow with a 2-way stripe and specify 1 disk, it will say there is no space as oppose to maxsize which will give you the space on the one disk.
