X If you used the createaldvv command to create your virtual volume (as described in 7.3.1

growaldvv <sizespec> <VV_name> command, where:
 <sizespec> is the area of the volume you wish to grow followed by the grow size.
Valid arguments are:
 -szu specifies the user volume.
 -sza specifies the administration volume.
 -szs specifies the snapshot volume.
You can specify any number of arguments in one instance of the
growaldvv command.
The grow size is specified in megabytes as an integer from 0 through 2096128 (you can
also specify the size in gigabytes by following the integer with g or G, e.g.,
growaldvv
-sza 210G <VV_name>
