Can i specify a pv in the command of chfs? Have not seen anything about that mentioned in the manual. My /home was created among hdisk0 and hdisk1. Because there is much more space left in the hdisk1. I want to add more space in the hdisk1 sole.

Not with chfs that I'm aware of but there are a couple of ways to do it.

One way is to create a dummy LV on hdisk0 and then do a chfs which will extend
your FS using PPs on hdisk1. Another way is to extendlv and then chfs.

I just realized that I typed too fast and didn't really finish typing my
thought for the first solution (dummy LV). What I meant was to create a dummy
LV that uses up all the available PPs on hdisk0 and then, assuming that your
VG only has two hdisks, when you chfs, it will have no choice but to use the PPs
on hdisk1 for growing your existing FS. After the chfs, you can simply rmlv
the dummy LV and go on your merry way.

You can disable the ability to allocate new PP from hdisk0, ie if u increase the size of the LV it used PP from hdisk1
Use this command

#chpv -an hdisk0 ( make physical volume not allocatable)

then increase the size of filesystem

#chfs -a size=+8192 /home ( This command increases the size of the /home by 8192 512-byte blocks, or 4MB)

#chpv -ay hdisk0 (To turn on the allocation permission)

What does it mean? Do I need to shut the "open logical volumes"? what is it and where?
