Hi all,

Model : 9000/800/L1500-7x
Array : VA 7100 with command view SDM
HPUX version : 11.00

VG00 FREE PE : 1563 * 8 ( 12 GB)
VG01 FREE PE : 0
VG03 FREE PE : 0

1. Allocate LUNs.
2. Run pvcreate against the new LUNs
3. Run vgextend utilizing the new LUNs

Create a LUN on the array first using the GUI or the menu based command interface (cvui). If needed, adjust the security settings.
Run "ioscan" followed by "insf -e" on the host to detect the LUN and create device files. Now add the LUN to your existing VG, e.g.

pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
vgextend vg01 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx
do the vgextend again for the alternate path(es).

Now the space is available to extend your LVOLs.
