Check the results of vgdisplay -v against the volume group (klnmal1 maybe?) to see if what the Physical Extent (PE) size is and the number of available PEs. You may need to add another PV into the volume group. HTH, Wayne Lee Stewart wrote: I have a client with a SLES8 LVM that he's having tr

I agree. You are getting "memory" advice from people on dedicated systems. Usually, it is very wrong on a mainframe. Consider: CPU: Intel is cheap mips, except for context switching. Mainframe is (still) expensive, but great in context switching. Memory: Intel is cheap. Mainfr

How to tell if LVM is striped

2005-11-11 Thread Lee Stewart
I have a client with a SLES8 LVM that he's having trouble extending.. Is there a command to tell if an LV or VG is striped or not? There's roughly 13G free space in the VG. From what I can tell, SLES8 is LVM1 which won't let you extend a striped volume. That's supposedly one of the reasons he c
