Problem in resizing a volume.

[rajesh_kandimal]

Hi,

I am trying to check free space of DG.but,giving an error.

VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-752 No volume can be created within the given constraints

[g_lee]

That error generally means there is no space left in the diskgroup to create volumes (with the constraints/specifications provided)

Please provide the output of the following commands:

# vxdg -g <dg> free

# vxprint -qhtrg <dg>

Another possibility, though less likely, is that the volume has been created with rules, and your existing storage doesn't fit the rules. That is what the "constraints" comments is about.

As a side note, when you get an error message, you can check it at the following URL:

You were trying to create a volume using vxassist command ?  what commands you use ?

Also, is there any defaults settings in /etc/default/vxassist ?

If any rules are set in there, you might not have adequate space.

as asked by Grace above, with those output we can help further ...

vxassist -g maxsize this command will tell you how much space is available in DG for new volume.
