Kevin,

what license are you talking about? With VCS firmware version 3.010 there is no longer a base license required. V3.010 is a mandatory upgrade. Talk to HP or your service provide if the system isn't running it yet - there is some work involved.

If you have a snapshot license you must first complete the 'license fulfilment' that is described with the documentaion.


Ouch! You are not allowed to increase the size of an existing virtual disk on HP-UX. I hope you haven't lost data, yet! Last time I checked, the correct way was to create a new virtual disk, present it to the server and add it to the volume group.

I strongly recommend that you undo your work.
