Vxresize

Hello Forum,

There are confusing statements in this forum about resizing filesystems in a VXVM environment. Some people say you don't need OnlineJFS while using VXVM and some people say otherwise.

Here is what I understand , Correct me if I am wrong.

1). No matter what the Volume Manager is [ limited to LVM or VXVM ], To resize a mounted / active filesystem without unmounting it we need Online JFS or the equivalent product from Symantec [ they use a diff name but it is the same JFS - Full]

2). vxresize does both fileystem and the volume at a time right ? I mean there is no need of an fsadm command here.

Regards,

Kaps

Kaps,

1) Thats correct.

2) Thats correct as well.

Where did you see statements about not needing OnlineJFS or the full version of VxFS (storage foundation)?

Yes and Yes.

Of course, the matrix in the man page would have explained all of this to you --- and I would trust it more than I would trust me --- but that's just me.
