lvextend raw device on Oracle

[Michael Mac]

Hello all,

Do I need to SHUTDOWN the Oracle database before increase(lvextend) raw device on the same volume group.
e.g

1) lvextend -L 800 /dev/vg02/lv_ora
2) Alter database datafile '/dev/vg02/lv_ora' resize 800M;


Thanks.

Hi,

No shutdown is not required. It can be done online.

HTH,

You can do this online without a problem.

Can be done online with no problem. I *would* do a complete hotback first though. Just in case...

I would have a cold backup before I did it. Every once in a while lvextend has hung on me. I would hope the machine is current on patches.

The commands you plan to use are fine, and can be run while the database is up. I'm just anal and would try and avoid it and have a cold backup before proceeding.
