dear AIX admin,
would really appreciate you can shed some lights to my problem. really hope to get your reply.
when i want to
#mklvcopy one of the mount point, it gave me this error. before this, i tried on other mount point, it's works.
i hit this error:
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.
0516-1517 : Failed to create a valid partition allocation.
0516-842 : Unable to make logical partition copies for
logical volume.
this is the output of lslv for that lv:

1. lslv -m lv00

lv00:/audit
LP PP1 PV1 PP2 PV2 PP3 PV3
0001 0123 hdisk53
the number of pv is enough, but i'm wondering why i can't copy the lv.

1. df -g .

Filesystem GB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/lv00 0.25 0.24 4% 21 1% /audit
attached is the vg01 that i want to make the lv copy from.

hope to hear frm you. thank you

hi,

To make mklvcopy works, you must have enough space (Free PP) in the VG.

Try this :
1/ lslv lv001, and get the volume group name ( vg01 )
2/ lsvg vg01, and get the Free PP
3/ lsvg -l vg01 and get the number of PP used for lv01 ( warning, get PP and not LP ... )

If number of PP used by lv01 is greater than number of free PP in vg01, the command will fail with the output of your post.

=> Add a disk to the VG to gate more free PP

If don't resolv your probleme, can you post the full command you used ? and add the result of this commands

1. lsvg vg01
2. lsvg -l vg01
