Cluster LV extend

[prash_1]

Dear friends,

I am using HP-UX 11.11
no online jfs is installed .


I want to extend lvol2 in vg02 which is in cluster.
& lvol2 is mirrored.vg02 is having @40GB free space.
Please give me details how to extend LV which I Mentioned above without loosening data.


Thanks.

Shalom,

lvextend -L

You will lose no data.

Because you don't have Online JFS, you will need to drop cluster services(downtime) umount the logicial volume and use extendfs to extend the filesystem and actually have use of the space.

I cannot imagine setting up a cluster without OnlineJFS. This is really state-of-the-art dumb and partially defeats the purpose of SG.

In any event, you will need to execute cmhaltpkg to halt the package. You then would need to manually vgchange -a e the volume group and do an lvextend and then an extendfs. Next vgchange -a n the volume group and execute a cmrunpkg. You should next execute a cmodpkg to reenable package switching.

My general rule is that when someone needs to ask questions about routine operations on a cluster is that this person is the wrong person to be performing these tasks.

You obviously have to notify your clients of a scheduled maintenance window. The sad part of this is that if you has OnlineJFS, you could do all of this "on the fly" and your clients could stay connected.
