About administration of application volumes
You can perform maintenance tasks on volumes that you have created using
Veritas Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP). This includes resizing and changing
the capabilities of volumes without taking them offline.
The operations use the vxassist and vxvoladm commands.
See the vxassist(1M) and vxvoladm(1M) manual pages.
All these operations for ISP that use the vxassist command have an equivalent
vxvoladm command, which is obtained by substituting vxvoladm for vxassist.
Any other arguments to the command remain the same. The vxassist command
does not support the migrate, printintent, printrules, reversemigrate
and reversemigrateall operations of the vxvoladm command.
For details of how to display information about volumes, monitor and control
tasks, and how to use the vxresize command to resize a volume and an underlying
file system, see the “Administering Volumes” section of the Veritas Volume
Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Resizing volumes online
Increasing or decreasing the size of a volume is an operation that can be performed
while a volume is online.
The following vxassist operations are available for resizing a volume:
Increase volume size to a specified length.growto
Increase volume size by a specified length.growby
Reduce volume size to a specified length.shrinkto
Reduce volume size by a specified length.shrinkby
