No, we are not using PowerPath.
I just spoke with Symantec support and was told there was no patch
for this. The workaround they mentioned is remove the LUN from the
disk group and get the OS to recognize the new size for the LUN and
add it back to the disk group, then re-create the volumes. However
that doesn't guarantee the data on the disk.
What I am doing now is get another LUN with the same size (after
expansion) and add it to the disk group to create a mirror of the
disk that was expanded. Then from there I will shuffle things around
to hopefully get this to work.

Hi,
Is it possible to use "vxdisk resize" on a EFI disk? I tried it on a
Solaris 10 5/08 with VxVM 5.0MP1 but got the following error:
root # vxdisk -g backupDG resize backup-disk1
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-11476 Device backup-disk1: is an EFI
device,resize operation not supported for EFI disks
So basically I expanded the backend EMC CLARiiON LUN by 500GB to
1.5TB and was planning on dynamically resizing the LUN on Solaris.
But this obviously doesn't work. Is there a VxVM patch in place for
this to work, or any other way to fix this without tearing apart the
LUN and re-doing everything?
Thanks,
Rongsheng
