    In fact disk group has to be imported and vxfs file system has to be mounted in order to increase or decrease the vxfs file system size.
    If I were to assume that volume manager can see the LUN that you are going to add then there is no issue but in case it is not then you may have to restart volume manager daemon in order to make it visible to the volume manager and if you do so then I would suggest you to freeze the service group before you restart your volume manager daemon.

Hi Dev,

Thank you for giving reply.
