I have 40TB logical volume on HPUX but even after I installed the patch(PHCO_37939) as suggested in this link http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/LVM-and-VxVM/Not-allowed-to-create-logical-volumes-larger-than-2TB/td-p/4834031 I still see it as 2TB. Any suggestions ?

SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c29t0d1:
vendor: COMPELNT
product id: Compellent Vol  
type: direct access
size: 2147483647 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512

  • So the LUN is seen by HP-UX correctly. Are you using HP-UX 11.23? LVM or VxVM? If LVM, what does `vgdisplay -v vgXX` and `pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c29t0d1` say? – Marki555 Mar 07 '13 at 14:22

You cannot extend/create any logical volume more than 2 TB in HPUX LVM. Max is 2 TB and that too on 11.31 because number of max physical extents (PE) on 11.31 is 65536 and with that max size of PE 32 mb. so total size= 65536*32 mb= 2 TB.

  • Just to clear that max PE size is 256Mb but if you choose 65536 total extents PE per PV then you can max take 32Mb PE Size. – theartist33 Sep 10 '13 at 03:11
