hi,

have u un-mounted that file system? cause to use fsadm with your file system mounted (online), u need OnlineJFS.

to confirm:

# swlist -l product|grep -i onlinejfs

Hi Ahmed,

For the fsadm command, you must unmount the filesystem and
on the command used "/dev/vgxx/rlvolxx"

Hi Ahmed,

You need to check your system first, whether you have OnlineJFS software or not :

# swlist -l fileset |grep -i onlinejfs

If you dont have the OnlineJFS software, you need to umount the file system first after you run lvextend and run the extendfs to extend the file system.

Check the document (docID : UNX1030070)below about 'How to extend OnLineJFS or Base JFS file system' for your reference :

Hope this information can help you.

Hi Ahmed,

Since the OnlineJFS not installed on your system, you need to shutdown the application that using the file system (/dev/vgemc1/lvol2) & unmount the file system.

After that you can use 'vgextend' command. Check the man page of vgextend for details :

# man vgextend

Hope this information can help you.

hi,

since onlineJFS not install and u have already lvextend, do this:

# umount /dev/vgemc1/lvol2
# extendfs /dev/vgemc1/rlvol2
# mount /dev/vgemc1/lvol2

Selam Ahmed,
Check the link below;

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=987297

it seems you do not have installed online JFs
so said "the lvextend works ok" and if it means you did lvextend then just need final step;
extendfs
take a man page extendfs

Good luck,
