I have a VIO server mapping logical volumes to the clients. I was able to get the volume group to see the added disk space by:
> chvg -g [vgname]

vgname - kingdev3_datavg
lvname - kdev3_datavg
disk - hdisk5
only one disk and one logical volume in this vg


# lsvg kingdev3_datavg

I am currently perplexed, I have not had this issue before and I do not know what I am missing - anyone have an idea what it is?

Thanks,

I fixed this issue -

The logical volume type was blank on the VIO server - I changed this to JFS2 and my "> extendlv kdev3_datavg 500" worked!

Hope this helps someone else - this was a non-rootvg volume group.

It most certainly did! I was pulling my hair out...

Only thing is my problem was extending on the VIO itself. It's not a file system LV there but changing the type enabled it to extend it anyway. I don't think I can blank it again, so I hope it doesn't mean anything

EDIT: I also get "Warning: Cannot write control block data" - is that serious?
