Weird thing is, the vxassist command works on one server and not in the other.. which is spitting out the error in subject.<\/p>\n<p>Take this example:<\/p>\n<p>Working server:<\/p>\n<p><code><br \/>\n# vxdg list<br \/>\nNAME         STATE           ID<br \/>\ndatadg1      enabled              1169455228.81.sgtjcpb1<br \/>\ndatadg2      enabled              1169455429.95.sgtjcpb1<br \/>\n# vxassist -g datadg1 maxsize layout=concat<br \/>\nMaximum volume size: 390506496 (190677Mb)<br \/>\n# vxassist -g datadg2 maxsize layout=concat<br \/>\nMaximum volume size: 676767744 (330453Mb)<br \/>\n# vxassist -g datadg1 maxsize layout=raid5<br \/>\nMaximum volume size: 270483456 (132072Mb)<br \/>\n# vxassist -g datadg2 maxsize layout=raid5<br \/>\nMaximum volume size: 375160832 (183184Mb)<br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Looks fine right? But when I tried the same syntax on the other sever, I got this:<\/p>\n<p><code># vxdg -g sysdg free<br \/>\nDISK         DEVICE       TAG          OFFSET    LENGTH    FLAGS<br \/>\nsysdg05      emcpower5s2  emcpower5    16777216  2029952   n<br \/>\nsysdg06      emcpower3s2  emcpower3    16777216  2029952   n<br \/>\nsysdg07      emcpower4s2  emcpower4    167772160 2020352   n<br \/>\n# vxassist -d sysdg maxsize layout=concat<br \/>\nVxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-5455 Operation requires a disk group<br \/>\n#<br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>I suspect it has something to do with the Veritas VX version or the OS it is running.
