is a umount/mount required

[tuka]

After growing /opt using the vxassist is a remount of /opt required to see the added length?

Thanks

No you do not have to. If you are not seeing the right amount of space in the file system you may have only grown the Volume. In which case you will need to grow the filesystem to match the volume size.

Solfan,
Thanks for your reply. I went to the gui and opened up the rootdg, volumes and got the properties for /opt.

On the general tab it shows the volume name (opt) having 3.955GB.

On the File system tab it shows the total as 1.961GB.

Do I highlight /opt and resize to get the added space or how do I actually get access to the new lenght?

Thanks

Yes the method you suggest should work. You should get a File System Resize Form popup and ther you can enter Amount you want the file system to growby.
Also you can use the command line:
For Veritas 3.X -
vxresize -g diskgroup_name volume_name new_length
This grows both the filesystem and the volume.

For Veritas 2.X-
/usr/lib/fs/ufs/mkfs -F ufs \-M /opt /dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/volxx <size>

I would suggest that you back up the data before attempting to grow the filesytem.
