Problem Cause Recommended Action
It takes a period of time in the range
from a few minutes to 10 minutes or
more when a small file system or a small
device file is created or expanded. If the host OS is Windows ® , the
diskpart
command script is executed
several times or 10 times or more.
Each time this script is executed, it
takes 10 seconds or more. Therefore,
this process takes from a few minutes
to 10 minutes or more.
You do not need to take any action.
When a file system or a device file is
created or expanded, the following error
message is displayed:
The
host information is
inconsistent
with that of the
Device
Manager agent.
Even if you carry out the appropriate
actions for the error message and
update the host information, this same
error message is displayed.
On an AIX host, Dynamic Link
Manager might not have correctly
recognized an LDEV because the
suspended deletion operation has not
finished. Check the disk name of the LDEV in
which the error occurred, by
executing the Device Manager
agent’s hldutil command or the
Dynamic Link Manager’s dlnkmgr
command.
Compare the disk names, and
perform the following procedure if the
disk names are different:
1 Delete the path that has been
assigned to the LDEV in
question. For details, see
5-11 .
2 Execute the rmdev command to
delete the Dynamic Link
Manager driver, and the disk
that corresponds to the LDEV in
question, from among the
Dynamic Link Manager drivers
and disks that Dynamic Link
Manager recognizes.
3 Execute the cfgmgr command
to configure the disk and
Dynamic Link Manager driver.
4 Update the host information.
If you create or expand a file system or
device file, the following message is
displayed: The specified physical
volume is already in use.
Even if you update the host information
in accordance with the correct action for
this error message, and then retry the
operation, the same error message is
displayed again.
The specified volume might constitute
an inactivated volume group. Make sure that no volume that
constitutes an inactivated group is
used for the configuration.
An error occurs during addition or
expansion of a file system or device file. On a Linux host, the file system or
device file to be added or expanded is
used by an md device when the
partition label of the volume to be used
is changed. None, because this is a result of
Provisioning Manager specifications.
When an entire volume or a volume
on which partitions constitute md
devices is used, neither addition nor
expansion can be executed.

Problem Cause Recommended Action
When Device Manager is used to
delete a path to a logical unit, and a
file system or device file is added
under the same condition from
Provisioning Manager, an error
occurs. After the path to the logical unit was
deleted, the host was not updated. In the Host Name subwindow,
update the host to bring the host
information up to date.
