major parted and fdisk issues on RHEL 5.5?
Hello All!
* I have multiple RHEL 5.5 boxes, and I’m trying to partition out (cut up) our 2.2 TB of storage on each one. However, neither Parted or Fdisk will allow it on any of the RHEL 5.5 boxes. (We do have 20 RHEL 4.0 boxes, and it works perfectly on those.) Given it works fine with RHEL 4,0, I assume this is a bug with RHEL 5.5? * Here’s the problem: * I’ve used GPT and msdos tables with this. * Disk /dev/sdb: 2247GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt * Number* Start* End* Size* File system* Name* Flags * (parted) mkpart primary ext3 1024 73000 (parted) mkpart primary ext3 60000 560000 (parted) mkpart primary ext3 560000 999999 (parted) mkpart extended ext3 999999 2143360 Now we have: Number* Start** End**** Size*** File system* Name***** Flags *1***** 1024MB* 60.0GB* 59.0GB*********** primary *2***** 60.0GB* 560GB** 500GB*************** primary *3** ***560GB** 1000GB* 440GB************** primary *4***** 1000GB* 2143GB* 1143GB********** extended At this point, I can’t do anything else.

The closest location we can manage is 2143GB to 2143GB.* Is this still acceptable to you? Yes/No? * And it doesn’t matter what I type on that (parted) line, it always comes back with this same error message. * Again, this works fine in RHEL 4. But just won’t work on any of our RHEL 5.5. * Anyone have any ideas on this? Is perhaps RHEL 5.5 expecting something else on the command line?

Did you scan the new storage ? If manual scan don't work (sometime it
don't) reboot the server.

major parted and fdisk issues on RHEL 5.5?
Hi For scanning new LUN, we don't required reboot.
Kindly follow the below method: Step1: Download & Installed the sg3_utils packages. (Download the sg3_utils & sg3_utils_libs packages ) Note: download “rescan-scsi-bus.sh” script also anywhere on RHEL4 based. #rpm –ivh sg3_utils* Step2: Scan the new LUNs without rebooting the box. a.) Take the output of inq utils or fdisk –l b.) Execute the following script & take the output of inq utils or fdisk –l and compare with your previous out put. #/usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh (RHEL5) Or #./rescan-scsi-bus.sh (RHEL4) Thaks- Shankar On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 5:47 AM, Sanjay Chakraborty <sanjaychakrab@gmail.com> wrote: > Did you scan the new storage ? *If manual scan don't work (sometime it > don't) reboot the server. > > Sanjay Chakraborty > > On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 11:34 AM, Anne Moore <diabeticithink@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> >> Hello All! >> >> >> >> I have multiple RHEL 5.5 boxes, and I’m trying to partition >> out (cut up) our 2.2 TB of storage on each one.
