Hello Everybody, i have a little question about shrinking a volume. Problem is the volume is of type gen instead of fsgen (which would be the right type for filesystem volume). But I can't change this easily cause I get no downtime for this volume/machine. The filesystem is "vxfs" and I want to shrink this at about 50GB.
Vxresize tells me that it can't do it, cause it's not "fsgen" and I should use "-f" if I'm sure. But I'm not. Has anybody some experience with shrinking a volume with vxresize -f -F vxfs -g <DG> <vol> size. Can I do this with "gen" type volume without loss of data? v newtsvol - ENABLED ACTIVE 1887436800 SELECT - gen pl newtsvol-02 newtsvol ENABLED ACTIVE LOGONLY CONCAT - RW sd EMC5_8-15 newtsvol-02 EMC5_8 956149840 2112 LOG EMC2_21 ENA pl newtsvol-05 newtsvol ENABLED ACTIVE 1887436800 CONCAT - RW sd EMC5_5-01 newtsvol-05 EMC5_5 0 1236605392 0 EMC2_11 ENA sd EMC5_8-01 newtsvol-05 EMC5_8 0 650831408 1236605392 EMC2_21 ENA pl newtsvol-06 newtsvol ENABLED ACTIVE 1887436800 CONCAT - RW sd EMC4_6-01 newtsvol-06 EMC4_6 0 1236605392 0 EMC0_21 ENA sd EMC4_7-01 newtsvol-06 EMC4_7 0 650831408 1236605392 EMC0_9 ENA Operating System is Solaris 10 with VXVM 4.1 and it's a cluster shared DG Thanks for any help Michael _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx
