Adding a Vdisk to EVA and extending VG
I asked this some time ago but was never able to implement due to other priorities. Last time I asked I got varying opinions so I'll ask again.
1) I have an EVA4400 (version 0953400) with available disk space to allocate. I have a group of 4 Vdisks each of 225GB. I intend to add (i.e. create) another 225GB Vdisk (i.e. LUN) to this group and present it to the host.
2) My HPUX is an rp4440 at 11.11 (so I know that vgmodify is not available). Considering the following vgdisplay:
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vg02
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 255
Cur LV 7
Open LV 7
Max PV 16
Cur PV 4
Act PV 4
Max PE per PV 50000
VGDA 8
PE Size (Mbytes) 32
Total PE 28792
Alloc PE 28776
Free PE 16
Total PVG 0
Total Spare PVs 0
Total Spare PVs in use 0
Once the new Vdisk is created and presented (in step 1 above) I should be able to:
3) Run vgextend on vg02
4) Extend (i.e. lvextend) any lvol on vg02 at this point
I know I can also create a new VG, but I thought the steps above would be the least painless way to add additional space. So, does my process above look correct?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Re: Adding a Vdisk to EVA and extending VG
Yes, you can do these steps which is the quickest way.
If you can split the additional space to a separate file system, you may go for a new LV with the new LUN.
