need help to extend a HPUX VM guest disk.

OS=11.31

HPUXVM= 6.5

I extended the underlying logical disk on the vm server. Rebooted the server. AT the OS level the disk is created as strict allocation. smh cannot see the extended underlying disk. I used to do this 10-15 years ago. I know I may have to umount the Filesystem, but am forgetting the lvextend syntax. This is a NON rootvg, logical volume.

disk avio_stor 0 0 0 1 0 lv /dev/vmvg01/rvmfwvol2 <== is the VM server disk device I extended.

From the VM Guest.

0/0/0/0.1.0 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 LVM vg01 1 200.00 HP <== this is what SMH sees.

From SMH:

lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Logical volume "/dev/vg01/buildvol" could not be extended.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy
Command Unsuccessful

LV Name /dev/vg01/buildvol

LV Status available/syncd
Mirror copies 0

Schedule parallel
LV Size (Mbytes) 101376
Current LE 25344
Allocated PE 25344
Stripes 0
Stripe Size (Kbytes) 0
Bad block on
Allocation strict
IO Timeout (Seconds) default
Type LVM
