    Greetings, i wonder if it's possible to run reorgvg on concurrent enhanced-capable VG that is not being accessed concurrently. I mean at one time only one node of the cluster makes the writes. From what i found in the reorgvg manual pages or some recommendations the restrictions are written very vaguely such as "is not allowed" or "should not be run":

    Attention: This command is not allowed if the volume group is varied on in concurrent mode.

    What is The Limitation of reorgvg Command
    The command has limitation that it does not recognize the placement of allocated Physical Partitions for striped Logical Volumes. As a result you may not run command on striped metaluns.

    Is This reorgvg Command Disallowed Somewhere
    Yes, The command is not allowed on snapshot Volume Group. Also the Volume Group should not be concurrent.

    Does anyone have personal experience with this? Thanks for reply in advance.
