▼ To extend a Quick I/O File

1. If required, ensure the underlying storage device is large enough to contain a larger VxFS file

system (see the vxassist(1M) manual page for more information), and resize the VxFS file

system using fsadm command:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsadm -b newsize /mount_point

where:

◆ -b is the option for changing size

◆ newsize is the new size of the file system in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, blocks, or sectors

◆ mount_point is the file system’s mount point

2. Extend the Quick I/O file using the qiomkfile command:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -e extend_amount /mount_point/filename

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -r newsize /mount_point/filename

Example

◆ To grow VxFS file system /db01 to 500MB and extend the emp.dbf Quick I/O file by

20MB:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsadm -b 500M /db01

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -e 20M /db01/emp.dbf

◆ To grow VxFS file system /db01 to 500MB and resize the emp.dbf Quick I/O file to

300MB:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsadm -b 500M /db01

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -r 300M /db01/emp.dbf
