    This is because someone had previously used 'chvg -t [factor]' to change
    the numbers of PPs per PV to be > 1016.

    I've never tried using 'chvg -t' with 'chvg -B'.

    Thanks Bill,
    I have a volume group with MAX PVs 8 and MAX PPs per PV is 4064. In
    this circumstances, can I change MAX PVs to 32 by using chvg -B option.
    For some reason I was unable to change MAX PVs number since I want to
    add new disks(we re doing shark migration).
    How can volume group get MAX PVs to 8 when default is 32.

    thanks once again.

    By default it is 32. There is no need to make it smaller. -B means
    'make
    it a Big' volume group. -G means 'Gigantic'.

    Hi Guys,
    How to change volumegroup to set MAX PVs to 20. When I tried chvg with
    -B option it goes 128 PVs.

    Is these any other way to set MAX PVs other than using chvg -B
    <volumegroup>.

    thanks
    muthyam
