If you have On-Line JFS you can do it while the system is mounted. You will need to check if you have it.

# swlist -l product | grep -i JFS
If you have the product SAM can do this task for you.

If you don't have it:

The best way is to boot the system into single-user mode and extend the logical volume that way.

Interrupt the boot process.
Interact with ISL = Y
ISL> hpux -is

When you receive the '#' prompt you can increase the logical volume.

# lvextend -L /dev/vg00/lvol?
# extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol?

Place the system in multi-user mode:
Control-D or init 3 (depending on your standard run-level.)
