Need Help LV extend

[MCC_Nancy]

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

# lvdisplay /dev/vg01/lv_ordp1

--- Logical volumes ---

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

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!

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:

1. Ensure Sufficient Space: Before running these commands, verify that there is enough free space in the volume group to accommodate the extension.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Defragmentation: After resizing, consider running a defragmentation process using fsadm to optimize the filesystem performance.

@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.
