How to extend FS using Veritas Volume Manager

[Guest_imported]

Hi friends,

I have got solaris 2.5 with veritas 3.3 installed on it. I am trying to increase the filesystem size which is currently 100% full.
I run vmsa and in that I am able to extend the volume size on which the filesystem resides by 10 GB as I desired. but this doesn't extend the FS size and when I tried to increase the FS size. by 10 GB(since I increased the volume size by 10G).it increases the volume size by 10GB again..but the size of the FS is still the same...

Can anyone pls guide me as I am new to Veritas ...

Thx in adv

You resize a Veritas File System b using the fsadm command.

fsadm -F vxfs [-b newsize] [-r rawdev] mount_point


1. Verify free space on underlying device:

# vxdg -g "datavol" free

2. Expand the volume using vxassist:

# vxassist -g "datadg" growto "myvol" "newsize"
example: #vxassist -g testdg growto datavol 1024000

3. Expand the file system using fsadm:

# fsadm -F vxfs -b "newsize" -r /dev/vx/rdsk/testdg/datavol /datavol

4. Verify that the file system was resized by using df:

# df -k /datavol

Hi,
Thx for the input.. unfortunately, in my case the filesystem is not Vxfs , it is ufs and fsadm works only with Vxfs.... any further suggestions...??

for ufs:

look man page: # man tunefs


or

# vxresize -b -F ufsfs -g "name_dg" "volume" +"MB"


example:

# vxresize -b -F ufsfs -g rootdg rootvol1 +20000m
