I have AIX system with 4.3.3.0.I am getting follow. error
while extending file system size of /case2.---
Maximum allocation for logical volume lv02 is 1000.
Output of lsvg ---

Hi

If I change maximum LP value thro.chlv,wheather it will
affect [destory] existing data in that respective filesystem.Current value of LP is 1000.

It won't. Just do 'chlv -x 2000 lvname'.

Hi andysys

Your problem can addresssed in two alternative ways.

method1:As the /case2 file system or lv02 logical volume is mirrored ..you can unmirror it and increase the file system dynamically by using chfs command or smit chfs .

method2:As the max number of logical partitions allocated in case2 logical volume is 1000,you can enhance it as

#chlv -x <max_num_of_lps_lessthan_equal_to32512> <lvname>
eg: chlv -x 3000 lv02
