How to Expand a File System?

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to expand a filesystem on solaris 10. This filesystem is managed by Solaris Volume Manager and Sun Cluster 3.2

/dev/md/APP-set/dsk/d120
50G 49G 1G 98% /MyFileSystem

Can I do that by using this command:

Code:
growfs  -M  /MyFileSystem  /dev/md/APP-set/rdsk/d120

???

What does the "SET" means ? Is it a hot operation or should I umount the filesystem before launching this command ?

Thank you for your help.
