Shrinking by a given length
To shrink a volume by a specific length, use the following command:
# vxassist [-g diskgroup] shrinkby volume length
For example, to shrink volcat by 300 sectors, use the following command:
# vxassist -g mydg shrinkby volcat 300
Warning: |
Do not shrink the volume below the current size of the file system or database using the volume. You can safely use the vxassist shrinkby command on empty volumes. |
