I had added a 4.5 gb hard disk SCSI and all was well. I couldnt bring it
into rootvg without an error about partition size (it needs 8 and my other
drives are at a partition size of 4 apparently, so i get a 1016 limit
exceeded...)

So...I create a new volume group called datavg and partition size of 8 and
this seems to work, but when I varyonvg datavg
my system gets VERY slow. I thought it was hung. Couldnt telnet in or do
commands like smit. Maybe if I had waited long enough, it would have worked,
but the system was really really slow. So I did varyoffvg datavg and sure
enough, things speeded right up!!

So, what in the world is going on? Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,

What's the oslevel? If it's 4.2.1, is bos.rte.lvm below
4.2.1.4?
