IJ55505: LKU CHVG ERRORS DURING CLEANUP. APPLIES TO AIX 7300-03

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases where rootvg's factor is not default,
  you may see this chvg error:
  
  OLVUPD 01/31/2023-12:13:38.271 DEBUG lvupdt.c - 1881 -
  lvup_doForkCmdEnv: '/usr/
  bin/sh -c /usr/sbin/chvg -t 8 rootvg' stderr and live
  update logs:
         0516-1187 chvg: Volume group not changed.  Either
  the volume group rootvg
                  has the specified factor value or is at
  proper maximum physical
                  partitions per physical volume limit
  already.
         0516-732 chvg: Unable to change volume group
  rootvg.
  
  
  The error is cosmetic and happens during LKU cleanup.
  This error is not a cause of failure,
  but a side effect after LKU has already failed.
  

Local fix

• N/A can be ignored.
  

Problem summary

• During LKU cleanup, a message like the following one is logged
  in lvupdlog:
  0516-1187 chvg: Volume group not changed.  Either
  the volume group rootvg
                  has the specified factor value or is at
  proper maximum physical
                  partitions per physical volume limit
  already.
         0516-732 chvg: Unable to change volume group
  rootvg.
  

Problem conclusion

• Attempt to restore the vg factor only if it was modified in
  the first place.
