Unable to resize physical volume

fraze2001Nov 18 2013 — edited Nov 21 2013

We've resized an iSCSI based LUN and are trying to resize the associated physical volume. I've re-scanned the iscsi bus, resized the multipath device (mpath0), but cant resize the physical volume:

1. Multipath device is 1.5T

[root@dcsorap02 ~]# multipath -ll mpath0

mpath0 (368b7b24ca523e05052f714f2a97ce369) dm-7 EQLOGIC,100E-00

[size=1.5T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw]

\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active]

\_ 8:0:0:0  sdb 8:16  [active][ready]

\_ 10:0:0:0 sde 8:64  [active][ready]

-

2. Physical volume is 1TB

[root@dcsorap02 ~]# pvdisplay /dev/dm-7

  --- Physical volume ---

  PV Name               /dev/dm-7

  VG Name               vgoradata01

  PV Size               1.00 TB / not usable 2.00 MB

  Allocatable           yes

  PE Size (KByte)       4096

  Total PE              262147

  Free PE               3

  Allocated PE          262144

  PV UUID               lkAYd6-EXy9-VBGh-B4XZ-jte1-EgHY-9DIc3N

3. Cant resize the PV

[root@dcsorap02 ~]# pvresize /dev/dm-7

  Unable to find "/dev/dm-7" in volume group "vgoradata01"

  0 physical volume(s) resized / 1 physical volume(s) not resized

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Fraze
