Extending the LV

[Ganesan R]

Hi Senthilkumar,

Be sure to specify the M after size(310000M).

If you haven't specified M, fsadm will interpret that as bytes and inturn reduce the filesystem and corrupt the data.

If you can and must place the size full, with lvextend-L must specify the size in Mb and with fsadm-b specify the size in Kb

Hi Senthil,

there is very simple steps in hp to increae lv or fs size here is only two steps if you have JFS.

(i)# lvextend -L 317440 /dev/vg01/lvol1

-L:- with this option size should be in mb and should be total required size.

or, if you have seperate free disk of 100 gb you can do simply

# lvextend -L 317440 /dev/vg01/lvol1 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

after this when you increase the size of your lv then you have to increase your fs size.

(ii)# fsadm -F vxfs -b 325058560

-F:-type of filesystem (vxfs)
-b:-size should be there in kb

just keep in mind only two steps for same, if you have JFS.
