    Hi,

    Smit "Increase the Size of a Logical Volume" command failed. Output:
    <hr />
    Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no

    Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

    The distribution of this command (111) failed on one or more passive nodes.
    0516-788 extendlv: Unable to extend logical volume.
    <hr />

    What could be the reason for this ?

    thanks

    Do you have HACMP for this node?

    It is possible that you must change the lv through smitty hacmp interface (System Management (C-SPOC) -> HACMP Logical Volume Management -> Shared Logical Volumes).

    Try it!!

    Hi,

    It looks like this lv is part of HACMP resource group.
    My mistake was that I forgot to check that, however command you sugested(HACMP menu) still fails:
    <hr />
    Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no

    Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

    cl_extendlv: Error executing extendlv vg_name lv_name 32 hdisk_nr on node machine_name
    <hr />
    I think I need standard procedure for extending file systems if lv belongs to HACMP resource group.

    I would suggest making sure that your cluster does a clean verify & synchronize before you do anything else.
    You didn't say what version of HACMP you are running. Depending on the version you may need to do a lazy update on your volume groups. But you will need to see what the verify & sync tells you is wrong.
    The latest version 5.4 is really good at telling you exactly what's wrong.
