Hello all,

Forgive me if I'm being stupid but I'm currently trying to grow a 
Veritas Filesystem in a guest LDOM without any success. The Veritas 
documentation suggests that it is possible: first grow the VxVM volume 
in the control domain using "vxassist -g diskgroup growto volume length" 
and then grow the file system in the guest domain  using  
"/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm -b num_blocks  mount_point". The Vx docs state 
that VxVM must be in the control domain and VxFS in the guest.

The issue I seem to be having is that when I export the volume to the 
guest LDOM, it sees it as a normal disk (i.e. 7 slices). Consequently I 
go into format and partition it, label it and then apply a VxFS to it 
before mounting. After growing the volume in the control domain the 
guest domain still sees the original size volume (checked with format) 
and so it can't grow the file system. Have I missed something obvious?

Before starting out, I was hoping that I would simply be able to put 
VxFS on a Vx volume in the control domain and then export it to the 
guest domain - similar to what one would do with ZFS. My experience and 
the Vx docs suggest that this is not possible.

Has anyone out there been successful in growing a Vx file system in a 
guest LDOM. If you have, and you can give me the "recipe" then I would 
be very grateful.

Thanks,

Stuart
