It amazing how similar questions all appear at the same time!

Re-installing from ignite is the simplest option. There are alternatives, involving mirroring, deleting and all sorts of nasty things but you might as well export your volume groups and do an ignite re-build of your machine and then re-import all your volume groups again.

It's safer, simple and only takes an hour or too.

Download and install Ignite:

Then run "make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/Xmn -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00". After that, boot off the tape and reload your root VG, resizing the logical volumes in the process.

This was just covered in a very recent thread. See http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=242644

Basically, you can't, at least not without some fancy partition re-allocation.

HTH.
