Hi folks

I am having probs trying to create file system /backup on already created logical volume lv01 (pp size = 64 mg and it has 135 PPs).

COMMAND STATUS

Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

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.
0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume.
crfs: 0506-902 Cannot create logical volume.

Any idea why?

Thanking you all in advance.

Regards

Katherine

KOG,

Here is where I am wondering you may be going wrong on your LV/filesystem creation. I was confused about this when I first started working with AIX and smit.

Do all of this in smit.

First you create your logical volume. Then, you go back to the Filesystems panel and select the option for creating a filesystem from a previously created logical volume. That is the second option.

If you select the first option (Create a filesystem, or something like that), another logical volume will attempt to be made. And if you don't have room, it will fail.

Now to your current problem: Besides write permissions on the directory, do as yegolev said. Another way is to cd into the directory and type ls -ld. That will give you the ownership and permissions on the directory only, not on any files in the directory.

And, just a question, did you create the filesystem to be large file enabled? With this being a backup directory, you may need it. (and make sure your oracle user is allowed to have large filesystems, as that user will be the owner of the directory.)

I am just going to go out on a limb here and guess that the permissions for the /backup filesystem are say rwxr-xr-x and have say an owner/group of root:system. Try creating the dircetory physical as the owner of /backup or change the permissions to rwxrwxr-x so the group can create the directory. You probably don't want to go with rwxrwxrwx because that would be wide open, so see if you can create as the owner of /backup or add write to the group and see if you can create the directories. That seems to be what it is pointing to since your lv and fs info look like they should.
