    Hello,

    Could  be couple of things here, ok that it shows volume can be grown however Stripe is structure & to grow a stripe volume, structure of stripe needs to be maintained.

    Now if you see vol13, its a 3 coulmn stripe:

    v  vol13        -            ENABLED  ACTIVE   8388608  SELECT    vol13-X2S-01 fsgen
    pl vol13-X2S-01 vol13        ENABLED  ACTIVE   8409600  STRIPE    3/128    RW

    & to me it looks like it has been grown multiple times already, thats why it has multiple stripelets in same stripe coulmn.

    So, you need to have atleast 3 disks with space to let this volume group in 3 coulmn stripe structure...

    # vxdg -g <dg>  free

    & the same reason goes for relayout ... if you want to relayout to 6 coulmn stripe, do you have enough disks with space to get the relayout done ?
