Did you send in the log file to support and what RAID controller are you using.
No, 'cos meanwhile I had another problem with lost tape pools and that was a less important issue. I'll open a ticket for this issue together with log files.
Does anybody already know the solution for this issue?
I've just expanded my Areca 1222 array, succesfully resized the PV and rebooted.
The volume manager does show the correct, expanded, size, but the free space indicator is stuck at exactly the old volume size.
Thanks for your incredibly quick reply!
I will reboot one more time tomorrow - I had just started a full array check on the controller and I prefer to wait for that to be finished first.
I'll keep you informed!
Time for an update!
This is what I've tried:
- Full raid array check
- Extra reboot
- Cold start
But still: no luck.
What eventually did the trick? Rerunning the PV resize command and an extra reboot!
Although I would be curious to know why it was necessary, I'm happy that it works.
The disk is added to the array, I was told to run some console commands.

Just in case, here is the correct procedure when resizing RAID array in DSS V6:
1). Apply appropriate Storage extension Key or make sure that your current license key is valid also for the storage size after the LUN size extension,
2). Expand the LUN size using the H/W RAID tools(RAID migration)
3). Perform "Unit rescan" (DSS webgui -> CONFIGURATION ->volume manager -> Vol. groups)
4). PV Resize (DSS Console -> ctrl + alt + X -> 11. PV Resize)
5). Reboot
In case you are using trial version, you don't have to apply the storage extension key because trail version is for unlimited storage.

Time for an update! Thank you.
