vxresize in solaris zone

hi 

we are to extend the filesystem of a solaris zone. This filesystem zone is under vcs resource of the global zone.


 Mount sprdarch (
                MountPoint @sgz01 = "/zones/csdb01/root/S90PRD/arch"
                MountPoint @sgz02 = "/zones/csdb02/root/S90PRD/arch"
                BlockDevice = "/dev/vx/dsk/sprddg/csprdarchvol"
                FSType = vxfs
                MountOpt = "suid,largefiles,log"
                FsckOpt = "-y"
                )

i'd like to ask if same should be done in extending the volume.
#vxresize -F vxfs -g sprddg  csprdarchvol +10g

should I halt first the zone? or we can extend on the fly as usual?

would the vxresize succeed even the filesystem is inside the zone?

I just had this info that  * volume must be mounted for the operation to succeed.

any thoughts? all replies are appreciated

The command looks correct if you want to increase your FS by 10G.

I would recommend to halt the zone & then resize the FS using vxresize.... I don't think any other thing should be an obstacle... shouldn't be a worry if FS is inside zone as well...

Also, nothing to worry if FS is configured under cluster..

thanks gaurav, we were able to extend on the fly with no issues. btw, zone need not to be halted. it is fine
