While trying to increase space on one of my file systems I get the following error,
Code:
[/home/root] #chfs -a size=+5G /fns/ld/r 0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request. There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command should be retried with different allocation characteristics.
I am trying to increase space on,
Code:
[/home/root] #df -gt | grep /fns/l /dev/fns_l_lv 3.00 1.09 1.91 37% /fns/l/r /dev/fns_ld_lv 8.00 8.00 0.00 100% /fns/ld/r /dev/fns_ls_lv 1.00 0.16 0.84 16% /fns/ls/r
The file system as you can see is a mirrored one,
Code:
[/home/root] #lsvg -l fnsvg | grep /fns/l fns_l_lv jfs2 24 48 2 open/syncd /fns/l/r fns_ld_lv jfs2 64 128 2 open/syncd /fns/ld/r fns_ls_lv jfs2 8 16 2 open/syncd /fns/ls/r
There are two disks in this mirrored relationship,
Code:
lspv hdisk0 000030d7b108e3f4 fnsvg active hdisk1 000030d7b108ea78 fnsvg active hdisk2 000030d7b9285c69 rootvg active hdisk3 000030d7b8c88a41 rootvg active
And when I checked, one of the disks was almost out of space,
Code:
[/home/root] #lspv hdisk0 PHYSICAL VOLUME: hdisk0 VOLUME GROUP: fnsvg PV IDENTIFIER: 000030d7b108e3f4 VG IDENTIFIER 000030d70000d60000000111b108f477 PV STATE: active STALE PARTITIONS: 0 ALLOCATABLE: yes PP SIZE: 128 megabyte(s) LOGICAL VOLUMES: 46 TOTAL PPs: 2235 (286080 megabytes) VG DESCRIPTORS: 2 FREE PPs: 2 (256 megabytes) HOT SPARE: no USED PPs: 2233 (285824 megabytes) MAX REQUEST: 256 kilobytes FREE DISTRIBUTION: 00..00..00..00..02 USED DISTRIBUTION: 447..447..447..447..445
Now what I don't understand here is, if it is a mirrored pair, why is the space consumed more from one disk than the other? Shouldn't they be equally consumed?
