Hi,

There is LDOM Guest where I need to expand /u02 file systems on it.  
It is residing on a Solaris 11 Hypervisor (Primary Domain).  
The storage is expanded on vdisk presented to Hypervisor.  
I need steps to expand the /u02 on LDOM Guest.

That's not much information...

You will need to create a vdsdev in your vds service. this vdsdev can be used as a vdisk for your ldom. within the ldom you will need to add this disk to the volume(s) for your /u02... and that will depend on your volume manager... ZFS? VxVM?

gP
