Need Help LV extend
Any Guru in here,
I need help, verification and try to gain self-confidence {me} - scare of soul of me working this critical system. I took over our unix server by default after our SA quit. However, one of file folder is now 91% full. I would like to extend this lv and file folder. The command below,: Are correct and good to go for me to execute?
# vgdisplay -v /dev/vg01
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vg01
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 511
Cur LV 9
Open LV 9
Max PV 511
Cur PV 3
Act PV 3
Max PE per PV 262144
VGDA 6
PE Size (Mbytes) 16
Total PE 262144 = 4,194,304 mgb = 4.19 (TB)
Alloc PE 160645 = 2,570,320 mgb = 2.57 (TB)
Free PE 101499 = 1,623,984 mgb = 1.62 (TB) available
Total PVG 0
Total Spare PVs 0
Total Spare PVs in use 0
VG Version 2.0
VG Max Size 4t
VG Max Extents 262144
# lvdisplay /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1
--- Logical volumes ---
LV Name /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1
VG Name /dev/vg01
LV Permission read/write
LV Status available/syncd
Mirror copies 0
Consistency Recovery MWC
Schedule parallel
LV Size (Mbytes) 1843184 = 1,843,184 mgb = 1.84 (TB)
Current LE 115199 = 115199 * 16 (PE by mgb) = 1,843,184 mgb = 1.84 (TB)
Allocated PE 115199
Stripes 0
Stripe Size (Kbytes) 0
Bad block NONE
Allocation strict
IO Timeout (Seconds) default
What I need to do:
- Current LE and Allocated PE 115199 (mgb) * 16 (PE by mgb) = 1,843,184 mgb = 1.84 Terabytes
- Increase Current LE and Allocated PE from 115199 (mgb) + 10,000 (mgb) = 125199 (mgb) * 16 (PE by mgb) = 2,003,184(mgb) = 2.0 (Tbytes)
- Total Increase is 160,000(mgb) = 60(gbytes)
I do have Online JFS in the system.
Command I need to execute:
Goal: Extend the size of this /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1 1887420416 1707272594 168888814 91% /ordatap1
#lvextend -L 125199 /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1
#fsadm -F vxfs -b 125199M /ordatap1
Thank you so much!
Nancy

Re: Need Help LV extend
The commands you have proposed for extending the logical volume and resizing the filesystem on your Unix server with Online JFS are correct. The command lvextend -L 125199 /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1 will extend the logical volume to the specified size. Following this, the command fsadm -F vxfs -b 125199M /ordatap1 will resize the filesystem to match the new size of the logical volume. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
Ensure Sufficient Space: Before running these commands, verify that there is enough free space in the volume group to accommodate the extension.
Backup Important Data: Although these operations are generally safe, it is always a good practice to back up important data before making changes to disk partitions and filesystems.
Monitor System Logs: Keep an eye on system logs for any error messages during the process. This can help in quickly identifying and resolving any issues that may arise.
Defragmentation: After resizing, consider running a defragmentation process using fsadm to optimize the filesystem performance.

Re: Need Help LV extend
@shuff shuff,
Thank you so much!!!!! I do have a good backup in place. About the Group Volume , I think I have enough space to extend to 60 GB for now (currently Group Volume has Free PE 101499 = 1,623,984 mgb = 1.62 (TB) available). This is the part I am struggle to comprehend if I do the right thing in calculation.
-- Volume groups ---

Once again, thank you so much and what relieved for me.....
