Problem resizing volume VXVM

[GeorgeEP]

Hi guys.

I have this problem when i try to grow any volume:

root@cgestion2 # /etc/vx/bin/vxresize    -t taskid_110 -g datadg oracle15  +500M 

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-7231 Problem running mkfs command for volume oracle15, in diskgroup datadg

/dev/vx/rdsk/datadg/oracle15: cannot open

Actually this volume is UFS and have 94% of used size.

/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/oracle15    81G    75G   5.0G    94%    /global/oracle15

The machine is a Solaris 10 and before to this problem we update the solaris and applied patches on operative system. This file system is a cluster resource. 

Thank's.

Have you tried to add '-F ufs' to specify the filesystem type?

Please share SF version and patch level as well as current volume layout: vxprint -htr -g datadg oracle15

Hi Marianne.

I show this information with the command:

root@cgestion2 # vxprint -htr -g datadg oracle15

The syntax for -F ufs is:

# /etc/vx/bin/vxresize  -F ufs  -t taskid_110 -g datadg oracle15  +500M   ?

Marianne.

I ran the command and i get the same error.

# /etc/vx/bin/vxresize  -F ufs  -t taskid_110 -g datadg oracle15  +500M  

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-7231 Problem running mkfs command for volume oracle15, in diskgroup datadg

You forgot to mention your SF version and patch level? Please post output of 'modinfo | grep -i vx'

Have you tried to run fsck on the filesystem to verify it's health?

was looking at this technote

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH58813

wondering if the volume is created with -T option , can u also paste the "mkfs -m" output for this volume

The problem was that there should be a small amount of filesystem available for the resize to take place.

Please df -kl "data_dg"

vxassist -g "data_dg" maxsize

[Gaurav_S]

we still have 6G free space, I would believe that would be sufficient for this resize .. issue is something else, may be George can tell if he got this solved by now or if any suggestion above helped ..
