Error: 0516-404 allocp
 
Hi,

While trying to increase space on one of my file systems I get the following error,
Code:

[/home/root] #chfs -a size=+5G /fns/ld/r
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.

I am trying to increase space on,
Code:

[/home/root] #df -gt | grep /fns/l
/dev/fns_l_lv      3.00      1.09      1.91  37% /fns/l/r
/dev/fns_ld_lv      8.00      8.00      0.00  100% /fns/ld/r
/dev/fns_ls_lv      1.00      0.16      0.84  16% /fns/ls/r

The file system as you can see is a mirrored one,
Code:

[/home/root] #lsvg -l fnsvg | grep /fns/l
fns_l_lv            jfs2      24    48    2    open/syncd    /fns/l/r
fns_ld_lv          jfs2      64    128  2    open/syncd    /fns/ld/r
fns_ls_lv          jfs2      8    16    2    open/syncd    /fns/ls/r

There are two disks in this mirrored relationship,
Code:

lspv
hdisk0        000030d7b108e3f4                    fnsvg          active
hdisk1        000030d7b108ea78                    fnsvg          active

hdisk2        000030d7b9285c69                    rootvg          active
hdisk3        000030d7b8c88a41                    rootvg          active

And when I checked, one of the disks was almost out of space,
Code:

[/home/root] #lspv hdisk0
PHYSICAL VOLUME:    hdisk0                  VOLUME GROUP:    fnsvg
PV IDENTIFIER:      000030d7b108e3f4 VG IDENTIFIER    000030d70000d60000000111b108f477

FREE PPs:          2 (256 megabytes)        HOT SPARE:        no
USED PPs:          2233 (285824 megabytes)  MAX REQUEST:      256 kilobytes

USED DISTRIBUTION:  447..447..447..447..445

Now what I don't understand here is, if it is a mirrored pair, why is the space consumed more from one disk than the other? Shouldn't they be equally consumed?

It has been learned that the disks are not mirrored, but certain LVs are mirrored. That explains the unequal consumption of space from both the disks.
