MSDP Resizing Fails

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I've been trying to resize a MSDP volume as described in Technote http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO89070.

 

Size was round 15435.28 GB before enlarging the underlying Volume.

 

The respective Volume has been grown from 16TB to 18TB using LVM and resize2fs.

 

The media server had been deactivated and processes had been shut down beforehand.

 

Afterwards the filesystem table displayed the correct size.

 

nbmedia:/nbdedup/log/spoold # df -k

Filesystem                     1K-blocks        Used  Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/system-root         20642428    12071192    7522788  62% /

udev                            24709536        1168   24708368   1% /dev

tmpfs                           24709536          68   24709468   1% /dev/shm

/dev/sda1                         159568       13216     146352   9% /boot/efi

/dev/mapper/system-openv        20642428    15344944    4248908  79% /usr/openv

/dev/mapper/system-nbdedupdb   619273992   221491888  366324824  38% /nbdedupdb

/dev/mapper/nbdedup-nbdedup  16910282648 14164551504 1886737688  89% /nbdedup

 

But NetBackup won't recognize the new size.

 

A inventory of the disk pool didn't help.

 

nbmedia:/nbdedup/log/spoold # nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -U

Comment          :

Storage Server   : nbmedia (UP)

 

 

 - NetBackup Version is 7.5.0.6.

 

 - Media server is on SLES 11 SP2.

 

 - Master server is on Windows Server 2008.

 

 

 

Any ideas on where to go from here?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Thomas

Thank you Marianne, I was looking at the wrong column all the time and mistook 1.8 TB free for 18TB total.

Seems I wasn’t really looking but seeing what I wanted to see.

Sorry for bothering you.

 

Cheers,

Thomas

Not always easy to see the problem when you're so close to it...

(I just did the same when I could not find a folder on our internal file server blush )
