UNIX Solaris

Hi all,

       I need syntax to create and extend existing volume with available disk space in a DG.

Thanks in advance.

you can resize like this:
vxresize -g datadg -F vxfs archive 16g

vxassist -g solaris make vol00 100m
  • this will create a volume with 100mb size (subdisks and plexes will be created automatically)
vxresize -g solaris vol00 200m

will successfully extend the volume size to 200mb.
you can again make it to 100mb

vxresize -g solaris vol00 100m

In vxfs, you can extend and shrink the volume size. In ufs, we cant shrink the size of the volume on online. (someone can correct me if i am wrong)
