Issue

While expanding the volume group, it fails with:
 
Error 217 - The reconfiguration operation cannot complete because of one of the following reasons:
  1. The volume contains unreadable sectors. Check the Recovery Guru for an unreadable sectors problem and follow the recommended procedure.
  2. The volume, or another volume that resides in the same volume group, is a source or target volume in a copy pair that is currently in a Pending, In Progress or Failed state, or the mirror volume is not optimal.  Please either wait for the copy operation to complete if it is Pending or In Progress, clear the Failed state, or restore the mirror volume back to an optimal state. Then, retry the reconfiguration operation.
