hi
Take the backup of filesystems and then remove them
using smit fs.Then recreate them in such a manner that you
first create corresponding logical volumes(smit mklv)
and then associate filesystems with lvs.
In this way you can place the newly formed fs on your
unused disk specifically.

Hi Call !

You can allocate more logical partitions to the logical volume &quot;lv01&quot; ,and u can get these logical partitions from
the physical volume &quot;hdisk1&quot;, because i can see 536 PP's free there.This can be done using
smitty extendlv
Ater allocating more LP's to the logical volume &quot;lv01&quot; , u can then extend the corresponding filesystem(/mercer) on that logical volume using
smitty chfs
or u can use the chfs command line also , refer to the man pages , if u got any doubts pls mail me.
have fun and regards,

thank you very much

here is what it looks like now.

PV_NAME PV STATE TOTAL PPs FREE PPs FREE DISTRIBUTION
hdisk1 active 537 433 108..03..107..107..108
hdisk3 active 537 0 00..00..00..00..00
# lsvg -l jrsvg
jrsvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv01 jfslog 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
lv01 jfs 640 640 2 open/syncd /mercer

the lp was max at 512 i made it 1024
then add 128 partitions should i have add 512 instead
then i extended it.
I think im ok now. just wanted to make sure i did it right.

thank you rajeshrcmc
