Hi Guys, i wanted to ask lets say i just want to extend a filesystem.. So, i just need to extend the filesystem on the adoptive node and just run insf on the failover server. Do, i need to do vgexport, import as well... if i am only extending a filesystem.....
Thanks

well are you JUST extending a file system?
Or are you ADDING a PV and then extending the FS?
If the 1st, then as the changes are all on the PV's, there is nothing to change, but if the 2nd then you need to do the vgexport/import steps.

From my experience, you have to do vgexport to get the map files and import it on alt node in both cases. Simply extending the fs or adding a new PV and extending.

If you are going to extend the Clustered or file system that is included in package then you need to vgexport and import to another server as well.

other than clustered file system (shared storage) than simply do the file system extend and do insf to another node.

Hi,
For extending a file system?
No export/import required

for adding disk creating new vg then
required export/import steps.
