Increasing Raw device Sun Cluster 3.0

Hi All ,

I would like to know the procedure for increasing shared volume space in sun cluster .

Currently the configuration is like these .
Main stripe
oradb1/d91 2 1 /dev/did/rdsk/d35s0 1 /dev/did/rdsk/d36s0 =Total 49 Gb

oradb1/d94 -p oradb1/d91 -o 88080480 -b 14680064 ==Total 7 GB
oradb1/d93 -p oradb1/d91 -o 20971584 -b 67108864 == Total 32 GB
oradb1/d92 -p oradb1/d91 -o 32 -b 20971520 ======== Total 10 GB

Now, I want to want to increase d91 add more space to it by adding new disk.Can anyone please tell me the procedure to increase the size .All these volume are raw.

These system is in sun cluster 3.1 and solaris 9.The diskset owner is my current node.I have never increased the space in cluster.Although i know the normal procedure ,but i haven't added the disk or increase the space in cluster.Pleas suggest

Thanks and Regards,
Sahil_Shine

it's a raw filesystem. this can't be increased... this is what RAW (diskspace without a filesystem; you can only grow filesystems in os level) states! you can add new diskspace (another disk or lun) and give this (raw) new space to oracle.

Hi ,

What i mean to say is that i want to increase d91 by adding new lun to it .
After that i want to increase the soft partition d93 .Will it be possible .I want to use these procedure.

metattach d91 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 ..These will increase the raw device ?

I want to know just for cluster the procedure.As these will be shared disk and
will addition of new lun to shared group will have some probelm to cluster ????
