Mirroring Veritas Volume Manager error

Hello Everybody

I am trying to add a mirror disk into a Oracle disk group, bue it shows this message:

VxVM  WARNING V-5-2-1563 There is insufficient space on disk

The origin disk has 150GB and the new disk has 200GB.

Any idea ?

    As Riaan says, try using vxassist, although command is not quite correct - should be:

    vxassist -g lic1dg mirror vol01

     

    The issue could be that your disk is called "diskname" and since vxdiskadm is just a frontend shell script which calls underlying vx commands, it could be that "diskname" confuses it and it would be a good idea to rename anyway and I would personally rename both disks and you should rename subdisks also to avoid confusion and this can all be done online:

    vxedit -g lic1dg rename lic1dg01 lic1dg02
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname lic1dg01
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname-01 lic1dg01-01

    Please provide output from vxprint -th and the command you are trying to run.

    Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/AddDisks
      Use this operation to add one or more disks to a disk group.  You can
      add the selected disks to an existing disk group or to a new disk group
      that will be created as a part of the operation. The selected disks may
      also be added to a disk group as spares. Or they may be added as
      nohotuses to be excluded from hot-relocation use. The selected
      disks may also be initialized without adding them to a disk group 
      leaving the disks available for use as replacement disks.

      More than one disk or pattern may be entered at the prompt.  Here are
      some disk selection examples:

    Mirror volumes on a disk
    Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/Mirror
      This operation can be used to mirror volumes on a disk.  These
      volumes can be be mirrored onto another disk or onto any
      available disk space.  Volumes will not be mirrored if they are
      already mirrored.  Also, volumes that are comprised of more than
      one subdisk will not be mirrored.

      Mirroring volumes from the boot disk will produce a disk that
      can be used as an alternate boot disk.

      At the prompt below, supply the name of the disk containing the
      volumes to be mirrored.

    What is the value set in /etc/default/vxassist, quite possible it is trying to create more mirrors which is not sufficient for disk to take ..

    Run below command & see value of nmirror

    # vxassist help showattrs

    As Riaan says, try using vxassist, although command is not quite correct - should be:

    vxassist -g lic1dg mirror vol01

     

    The issue could be that your disk is called "diskname" and since vxdiskadm is just a frontend shell script which calls underlying vx commands, it could be that "diskname" confuses it and it would be a good idea to rename anyway and I would personally rename both disks and you should rename subdisks also to avoid confusion and this can all be done online:

    vxedit -g lic1dg rename lic1dg01 lic1dg02
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname lic1dg01
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname-01 lic1dg01-01
