Today a colleague asked me about a strange situation when adding new disks to a existing disk group in AIX 7.1. He had two new disks from two different storages. The first disk could be added easily as always:
# vxdg -g oradg adddisk emc_clariion1_79
But when he tried to add the second disk he became the following error:
# vxdg -g oradg adddisk emc_clariion0_80
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-0 Disk Group oradg has only standard disks and trying to add cloned disk to diskgroup.Mix of standard and cloned disks in a diskgroup is not allowed. Please follow the vxdg (1M) man page.
