Hello,
I have a 7208-011 with 2 1 gig hard drives. The system is running on
hdisk0 and I wanted to create a file system on hdisk1 which only contains
the file system /dbms, which also is allocated to use the entire hard drive.
I received some instructions on doing this before and it doesnt appear to
work for me.

I did "lspv hdisk1" and found out that 248 PP's are avail, which are
basically all of them. They are 4mb in size.

Using Smit I did the following;

I added the logical volume on "datavg" and set it to the 248 PP's. It
created a lv named lv00.

I went to create the filesystem "/dbms" using smitty fs, JFS, add a JFS on
a previously defined LV, add a standard JFS. Chose the logical volume lv00,
made the mount point /dbms , and set to mount automatically, and I get the
following error message.

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.

Am I missing something here??

Thanks

Mike

The logical volume lv00 should be no larger that 247 PP. You need at
least one PP free for creating the journal log file which is done when
you tried to create the JFS.

Yes, to create a JFS filesystem, you also need a JFS log, by default
if there isn't one on the VG, the system will attempt to create one of
1 PP the first time you create a filesystem, so you need to:
rmlv lv00
recreate the LV with 247 PP's and then create the filesystem.

Thanks for your help, that was the problem.....
