*Hi Romeo,* *Please check that you followed the steps below while resizing the LUN* *1: Verify original size of LUN. * # prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s2 > vtoc.orig.out *2: Preserve the below VXVM configuration information. * # vxprint -ht > vxprint.out # vxdisk -o alldgs list > vxdisk.out # echo|format > format.out *3: Resize the LUN using vendor specific procedure.* *4: Re-scan device tree once LUN(s) have been expanded.* # devfsadm -C *5: Resize 'logical' VXVM object to match larger LUN dimensions.* # vxdisk -g <diskgroup> resize <disk> (please refer MAN page for additional options and details) ** *6: Perform VXVM configuration change update.* # vxdctl initdmp # vxdctl enable The updated LUN size will now be available to VXVM.
