Resizing the Storage unit

I Had a requirement like this.

The Advance disk storage unit size was 744GB. I had unallocated size of 500GB. I wanted to add 100GB to my existing Advance disk.

So I will have 744GB + 100GB = 844GB.

But when I resized with 100GB. The entire size became 100GB. I am not able see the other 744GB.

and also when we do resizing, what happens to the data in the storage unit.

 

Kindlly eloberate this. this is very critical.

 

Regards

kamal

    The value you give in the resize command is the final value that you want it to be (so Resize TO is what it really means)

    So you needed to use Resize AdvancedDisk 844 GB

    The other disk will go to the unallocated pool

    It all uses Veritas Volume Manager

    A Manage - Storage - Show will show what you have.

    Hope this helps

    It sound like you reduced the file system to 100GB insted of resizing it to 844.

    How does it look like from OS level ?
