The command you're looking for is 'vxdisk resize'.
Read more about requirements and command usage under 'Dynamic LUN expansion' on page 146 of VxVM Admin Guide.
Hi G,

I did try to check this with my very limited knowledge and it looked OK.
After a quick read of the document you pointed me to. This is my output from /proc/partitions

I think from this the "real" disk can see the extra size but the resize commands refuse to see them!
Thanks again
