Extending a veritas file system

[vinuhcl]

Hi all,
Anybody can give me the steps to extend a veritas file system in HP-UX??
The following is my file system which needs to be extended.

Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/vol6
16269312 16074536 193288 99% /ftpcarrier.

I want to extend this to 4GB

Thanks and regards,
Vinu

Vinu,

Please refer to the manual

Increasing the size of a volume
(a) LVM
lvextend -L NEW_SIZE LV [/dev/dsk/cXtYdZ]

(b) VxVM
vxassist [-g DG] growto VOL NEW_SIZE (e.g. vxassist -g gms_dg vol04 1000)
or

vxassist [-g DG] growby VOL SIZE_INCREASE (e.g. vxassist vol04 200)

Please tell me if your rootdg is mirrored???
and you just have to increase vol6.
Please send vxprint -thg rootdg.

Since you're useing VxVM simply do
/etc/vx/bin/vxresize -g rootdg vol6 20g
You checked already for enough free space (vxdg free)?

This will do everyting in one step (compared to vxassist grow and fsadm).
