lun resize

[TDUBB1234]

how do I resize a lun to fill out all the remaining space allowed?

lun maxsize /vol/voltest/voltest_qtr        

Space available for a LUN of type: solaris, aix, hpux, linux, netware, vmware, openvms, xen, solaris_efi or image

        Without snapshot reserve: 16353m (17147363328)

        With snapshot reserve: no space

        With complete snapshot reserve: no space

how do I use lun resize to automatically use all the remaining space?

You can use "lun resize /vol/voltest/voltest_qtr  +16353m".   -Wei

having a problem resizing a lun

df -h

lun resize: New size exceeds this LUN's initial geometry

lun resize: max size: 65535m (68718428160)

Was the LUN created with the -o noreserve option? If not, the LUN has space-reservation enabled. And there may not be enough space to expand the LUN.

vol options show

> vol options test

nosnap=on, nosnapdir=off, minra=off, no_atime_update=off, nvfail=off,

ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, create_ucode=on,

no_i2p=off, fractional_reserve=100, extent=off, try_first=volume_grow,

read_realloc=off, snapshot_clone_dependency=off, nbu_archival_snap=of

you mean fractional reserve?

[lwei]

yeah, there is also snapshot reserve. Do a "df -g" and "df -g -A".   -Wei

[TDUBB1234]

df -g

/vol/test/ 104GB 80GB 23GB 77% /vol/test/

/vol/test/.snapshot 25GB 0GB 25GB 0% /vol/test/.snapshot

df -g -A

test 8491GB 488GB 8003GB 6%

test/.snapshot 446GB 7GB 439GB 2%

[TDUBB1234]

should i set the fractional reserve to 0?

[lwei]

Yeah, try that. BTW, what's the current LUN size?  -Wei

[TDUBB1234]

i changed fractional reserve to 0 on the volume but still cannot increase the lun size

[TDUBB1234]

lun size is

/vol/test/test_qtr/test.lun   64.0g (68718428160)   (r/w, online, mapped)

        /vol/test/test_qtr/test1.lun   15.9g (17119051776)   (r/w, online, mapped)

[lwei]

Was the LUN created with "-o noreserve" switch? The LUN may have space reservation enabled. Could you try a "lun show -v"? If the LUN has reservation enabled, you can turn it off by "lun set reservation <lun-path> disable" command. Then try the lun resize command again.

Thanks,

Wei

ok i disabled space reservation but

resizing the lun still gives that error

lun resize: New size exceeds this LUN's initial geometry

lun resize: max size: 65535m (68718428160)

[HENRYPAN2]

You may need to increase the volume size, then re-size the LUN under the volume.

Good luck

Henry

i already increased the volume size

i was able to resize another lun under the same volume. just not this lun. any idea?
