Subject: VxVm 3.5 - decreasing size of swapvol on encapsulated root disk
Hi Folks,
On a V480 with Solaris 9 and 16Gb RAM, I'm trying to decrease the size of
swapvol from 22Gb to 16Gb. If I try # vxresize -g rootdg swapvol 16384m I
get
vxvm:vxresize: ERROR: resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result
in loss of data. Use -f option to force resize this volume. I tried with the
-f option: it didn't complain, but it didn't do it either.
Any idea how this can be accomplished?
(even better without rebooting or going to single user mode?)
I will summarize
Thanks in advance
Loris
