Storage foundation linux - increase lun

Question

Hi All,

I am new on storage foundation solution, and also on the company.

I have a oracle database running storage foundation and i just need increase a database lun.

Do i need to do something on storage foundation configuration? or can i just increase the size by storage side and reboot my linux?

The luns is one of resources that storage foundation manage.

Thank you

You will need to:

vxprint -d (see current disk sizes)
	expand the 2 Luns on EMC storage
	vxdctl enable&nbsp;
	vxdisk -g&nbsp;oradg01 resize&nbsp;emcpowera (grow disk)
	vxdisk -g&nbsp;oradg02&nbsp;resize&nbsp;emcpowerb&nbsp;(grow disk)
	vxprint -d (check disk sizes have increased)
	check space available to grow&nbsp;datavol01:
		vxassist -g oradg01&nbsp;maxgrow&nbsp;datavol01
	check space available to grow&nbsp;datavol02:
		vxassist -g&nbsp;oradg02&nbsp;maxgrow&nbsp;datavol02
	Grow filesystem (size you can grow will depend on output from 7):
		vxresize -g oradg01 datavol01 +354
	Grow filesystem (size you can grow will depend on output from 8):
		vxresize -g oradg02 datavol02 +352

Note on your systems you have 2 disks each containing 1 filesystem, but you could have 2 filesystems on one disk - this is why growing disks and filesystems are separate steps&nbsp;

You have to add space to diskgroup and then increase the filesystem (and volume) in the diskgroup.

You have 2&nbsp;choices for adding storage to diskgroup:

Expand existing LUN and then use "vxdisk resize" to recognise new LUN size
	Add an additional LUN using:
		vxdisksetup -i newdisk
		vxdg -g diskgroup adddisk newdisk

Note, before doing either of above, use "vxdctl enable" to scan for new disks and to see names of disks&nbsp;use "vxdisk -o alldgs list"

To expand filesystem (and volume) use:

vxresize -g diskgroup volume +size

Where you can get volume name from df (string after /dsk/ in block device is diskgroup and the next(last) string is volume) or "vxprint -v"

size can be specified used a suffix of m for MB or g for GB.

&nbsp;

All this can be done online, so you do not need to reboot and if you do reboot, this will not be all done automatically.

Hi Mike, thanks a lot for your answer!

I found this link but it has some different commans you have teach me. (https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6.1/solaris/productguides/html/sf_admin/ch05s03.htm)

I have builded the commands bellow based on my configuration and your guide. Could you please check?

1-expand the Lun on EMC storage
	2-vxdctl enable
	3-vxresize -g oradg01 datavol01 +354
	4-vxresize -g oradg02 datavol02 +352

What about the commands bellow from link?

1 - Make Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) aware of the new LUN size.

# vxdisk -g dg1 resize 3PARDATA0_1

2 - Calculate the new maximum volume size:

# vxassist -g dg1 -b maxgrow vol1

3 - Grow the volume and the file system to the desired size:

# vxresize -b -F vxfs -g dg1 vol1 200g

Which is the correct form to expand the LUN?

Follow my informations:
