Extension of VXFS File System

[Samy_4]

Hi all
I wanna know how to extend a VXFS File system online ? I'm using HP-UX 11i v1 OS and online JFS is installed

Thnx

The standard process:

lvextend the logical volume
umount the filesystem
extendfs the filesystem.

Since you have OnlineJFS you can skip the umount and use fsadm to extend the filesystem while its in use.

Hi,
1. extend you logical volumen
lvextend -L size_in_MB lvol_name
ex: lvextedn -L 1000 /dev/vgtest/lvol1

2. extend you fs using fsadm command
ex:
fsadm -F vxfs -b $((1024*size_in_MB)) /mount_point

Check if you have enough free space to extend FS
lvextend -L "new_size_in_MB" /dev/vgxx/lvolx
fsadm -b "size_in_mb" /dev/vgxx/lvolx or /FS_mount

bdf /FS

Hi,

The process posted above is perfect & you should not have any problems following the same.

Awarding a few points to the replies according to there relevance will be a nice thing for this forum.

Course - first step I do - make sure there is room in the vg first with a

vgdisplay -v vgXX

Then,

lvextend -L /dev/vgXX/lvolX
fsadm -b M /mountpoint

Example:

lvextend -L 4096 /dev/vg01/lvol1
fsadm -b 4096M /test

Sammy,

JFS;
# umount
# lvextend â L /dev/vgXX/lvolX
-L set new size of lvol to n MB
# extendfs â F vxfs /dev/vgXX/rlvolX
# mount

Online JFS;
# lvextend â L /dev/vgXX/lvolX
-L set new size of lvol to n MB
# fsadm â F vxfs â b
-b set new file system size to n KB

Also have a look this pd

hi samy
#lvextend -L /dev/vgXX/lvolX

#fsadm -F vxfs -b XXXXM /dev/vgXX/lvolXX

-F represents what filetype
-b represents the size
M represents 'Megabytes'

Example:

#fsadm -F vxfs -b 100M /dev/vg03/lvol02

This will extend lvol2 100 megabytes with a vxfs filetype
