Hello Experts,
I am struggling in allocating additional space on the logical volume vgcal/sysfiles inside an IDES ERP 6.0 including Enhancement Pakcage 7 on SAP HANA solution instance
We are adding a new physical drive via AWS to the machine, by checking via parted -l it shows up as /dev/xvdt and has 300 GB in total space
I am adding the drive to the Logical Volume manager via
#>pvcreate /dev/xvdt
#>vgextend vgcal /dev/xvdt
the command vgs then shows
#>vgs
VG | #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree |
vgcal 13 4 0 wz--n- 839.95g 300.04g
so there is 300 GB free space in the vg
We are stopping SAP system and HANA DB, then I am unmounting vgcal-sysfiles, which is usually mounted in v/vol/vol_ERP/sysfiles, /usr/sap/HDB
/usr/sap/<SID>, /usr/sap/trans, /usr/sap/ccms, /sapmnt/ERP and /hana/shared/HDB
then I try to extend the space of vgcal/sysfiles by 150 GB
#>lvextend -L+150G vgcal/sysfiles
Using stripesize of last segment 64.00 KiB
Extending logical volume sysfiles to 298.88 GiB
Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume sysfiles: 38388 more required
calculating 38388 extend * the physical Extent Size of 4 MB = there is an additional 150 GB needed. But even if we add a second device /dev/xdvu with 150 GB of space to the Volume Group, the values stay the same.
Any suggestions why this doesn't work.
Sincere regards
Andreas Loibl
