The following procedure describes how to grow existing storage by growing a LUN.

To grow existing storage by growing a LUN

  1. Grow the existing LUN. See the documentation for your storage array for how to create, mask, and bind the LUN.

  2. Make VxVM aware of the new LUN size.

    # vxdisk -g dg1 resize c0t1d0s4

  3. Calculate the new maximum volume size:

    # vxassist -b maxgrow vol1
  4. Grow the volume and file system to the desired size:

    # vxresize -b -V vxfs -g dg1 vol1 150g
