    I have very little knowledge on AIX that's why I'm here.
     
    Due to the unavailability of one of my employees, I am asked to work on an AIX platform.
     
    I need to increase a file system on a Aix 6.1
     
    This file system comprises a disk on the AIX hdisk9 named but is introduced by two vios. Vios on the disk is named hdisk55.
     
    For the moment I increased the size of the Mon on the storage array.
     
    Can you tell me step by step operations I need to do to increase the size of the disk on the VIOS and the LPARs.
     
     
    thank you

    Hey, if your storage is already increased on array you can use:

    chvg -g "your volume group"

    chvg -g Will examine all the disks in the volume group to see if they have grown in size.

    then "chfs"

    example:

    # lsvg rootvg

    Check "FREE PPs:" 

    # chvg -g rootvg

    # lsvg rootvg

    Check "FREE PPs:"  again. Are there any changes?

    # chfs -a size=20G /home

    This will set /home filesystem size to 20 Gigabytes

     

    regards
