10. From the "File System" Tab choose "Additional Tasks" -> Logical Volume Paramters
-> here you can change the root LV size.
11. Press GO
Using the Unofficial Procedure
Since the root LV has to be contiguous it is not possible to increase it because it is not
the last LV on the root disk. Anyway - it is possible to do it without using Ignite-UX if
there is an additional free disk available - c1t1d0 in the following example:
1. Create a new VG vgroot with c1t1d0:
# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 (don’t forget the –B option!)
# mkdir /dev/vgroot
# ll /dev/*/group (check for unused minor number)
# mknod /dev/vgroot/group c 64 0x010000
# vgcreate vgroot /dev/dsk/c1t1d0
