Error Message

# vxresize -x -F vxfs -g bootdg datavol +10m

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-2331 Cannot resize volume datavol (VXFS file system not mounted)

# vxresize -x -F vxfs -g rootdg datavol +10m

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-2331 Cannot resize volume datavol (VXFS file system not mounted)

Cause

 

A functionality problem has been detected with the vxresize command script which depends upon the OS mnttab to report the filesystem to be mounted using the block device 'rootdg' instead of 'bootdg'.

There is no problem with Volume Manager or Filesystem itself to be resized individually.

Resolution

There are two ways to address this problem to resize the filesystem:

  1. Use vxassist to resize the volume and use fsadm to resize the filesystem manually.
  2. re-mount the filesystem using the 'rootdg' for the block device instead of 'bootdg'

 

 

 

Applies To

Storage Foundation on Solaris platform

Issue/Introduction

The vxresize command fails for a data volume and filesystem in an encapsulated bootdg if the filesystem is mounted using block device reference as 'bootdg'
