Re: Create volume group greater than 2 TB

Not sure what the issue is...here is one of my larger systems:

VOLUME GROUP: xxxxxx VG IDENTIFIER: vgidxxxxx
VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 128 megabyte(s)
VG PERMISSION: read/write TOTAL PPs: 237521 (30402688
megabytes)
MAX LVs: 256 FREE PPs: 15114 (1934592
megabytes)
LVs: 98 USED PPs: 222407 (28468096
megabytes)
OPEN LVs: 98 QUORUM: 265
TOTAL PVs: 529 VG DESCRIPTORS: 529
STALE PVs: 0 STALE PPs: 0
ACTIVE PVs: 529 AUTO ON: yes
MAX PPs per VG: 262144 MAX PVs: 1024
LTG size (Dynamic): 256 kilobyte(s) AUTO SYNC: no
HOT SPARE: no BB POLICY: relocatable


This is a "Scalable" vg. 30TB. 529 disks.

Hi,

I have a RAID 5 array of 2+ TB. After running cfgmgr I see an hdiskx.
After adding hdiskx to a new volume group, the maximum size of the
volume group is never greater than 2 TB. How can I get AIX to create a
VG larger than 2 TB?

Thanks,
