vxresize command syntax :
The vxresize command will either grow or shrink both the file system and its underlying volume to match the specified new volume length. The ability to grow or shrink is file system dependent. Some file system types may require that the file system be unmounted for the operation to succeed.
Note: vxresize works with VxFS and UFS file systems only.
In some situations, when resizing large volumes, vxresize may take a long time to complete.
The new_length operand can begin with a plus (+) or minus (-) to indicate that the new length is added to or subtracted from from the current volume length.

i have a question on #vxresize command.
my senario is i have a two mount points (/dsk01 /dsk02) which are made from the same DISKGROUP.
the diskgroup(oradg) contains total of 4luns (lun1, lun2, lun3, lun4 )
mount point /dsk01 is made up of lun1 and lun2
mount point /dsk02 is made up of lun3 and lun4
both are concatenaded only
now i am adding two luns(lun5 and lun6 100gb each) to the DiskGroup (oradg)
My question here is
i need to increase the filesystem size for both the mount points /dsk01 and /dsk02 100gb for each
now i need to increase the file system size for /dsk01 mountpoint to add 100gb that should take 100gb form only lun5 from diskgroug oradg
for /dsko2 increase 100gb from lun6
Can some one specify how to increase the file system in such a way.
you should mention the device name with vxresize command.
syntax is:
vxresize -g vol name +size device=
Example:
i have added a lun having component id is c2t2d50. I have set as device name for this disk. Before that, you need to bring the disk into control of veritas and initialize it.
#devfsadm -C
#vxdctl enable
#vxdisksetup -i c2t2d50
#vxdg -g adddisk disk06=c2t2d50s2
where disk06 is device name
now use vxresize command to grow your file system using the LUN c2t2d50
#vxresize -g vol name +size disk06
Thanks for sharing this important information. You may also refer http://www.s4techno.com/blog/2016/06/17/extend-vxvm-filesystem/
