of you can make it.

Sorry, 14th :-)
http://www.zseriesoraclesig.org/webcasts.php for joining information - that
takes you to the My Oracle Support official link - do take time to explore the
SIG site, though. Note that the SIG is a
RACF awkward? Say what? I've been beaten with the RACFVM stick with
nails coming out of it for so long I like it now!
Way, WAY too much info, Dave. 8-)
For me, it's the difference between something bolted on because it already
existed somewhere else versus a product *designed* to work on VM.
I have an existing LVM that is near out of space.
I created it with the defaults that came with SLES 11 SP 1.
Now I need to add a drive to the LVM pool. But there doesn't seem to be an
option to add a volume to the pool.
I have done the same thing with SLES 8, 9 and 10, so it is not like I
It's not too difficult to do this on the command line:
lsdasd and figure out what the /dev/dasd device is - let's say it's dasdx
format it: dasdfmt -b 4096 /dev/dasdx
partition it: fdasd -a /dev/dasdx (make one partition using whole
deice)
lvm format: pvcreate /dev/dasdx1
add to volume
If you are using YAST:
Partitioner - Volume Management - double click volume group you want to
expand - on the 'Overview' tab select 'Resize'
then select the disk you want add to the group.

To see how the current lvm is configured I like to use the command:
lvdisplay -m lv_name
This will tell you what disks it's on, and what parts of the disks, and/or if
it's stripped or not ..
Most likely not stripped, but if it is then you will need to add the same
number of disks
Well, that didn't do it, but it did give me an indication on what it wants.
When I try to resize, I get:
You cannot resize the selected partition because the file system on this
partition does not support resizing.
The partitions were originally created with EXT3. That shouldn't be a problem.
I think I'd agree with Scott's approach here to do this via the command line,
it'll give you a more specific idea of where this is failing and what you need
to change. What perhaps yast is trying to say here is that the partition
doesn't support *online* resizing, which wouldn't surprise me,
It doesn't look stripped to me.
I might go with Scotts suggestion and use the command line format.
Then I can see if it is a LVM problem, or a yast problem. (now that I have a
test system)

just realized that the lvextend command I showed should be: lvextend -L
+2G /dev/testvg/testlv
And - if the error is about resize - then it's likely because the
filesystem is mounted and you will need to unmount it. If yast got that
far, I'm not sure what the state of your volume group is -
You shouldn't have unount to resize. We increase all the time with both 10 and
11.
The command is different between the 2 though.

Well, I found my problem.
The yast panels are quite a bit different than in previous versions and it was
not intutive on what to do.
Anyway:
Partitioner:
Volume Management
Tab to /dev/LVM and hit enter.
You now have the Logical Volumes display with a resize option. Don't do it.
Tab backward
This is just your friendly vendor messing with you.
Not to mention LVM itself.
An lv is not a volume, it's really a partition - no, wait, that's what a pv
is ...
Unless, of course, a pv is a full volume, and not a partition at all.
And a vg is a group of volumes except when a pv is not a

Looks like Scott gave you the summary:
format the disk (not needed for EDEV or SAN)
and partition it (also not needed for EDEV or SAN)
'pvcreate'
'vgextend'
'lvextend' (which should be easy if LV is not striped)
'resize2fs'
The last step can be
