Any tips to grow iSCSI LUN
Hi,
I have an iSCSI LUN attached to an AIX 5.3 box. It's initial size is 250GB, I just grew it on the SAN to 300GB, but AIX is not seeing the change. Right now I have some processes going and it's eating up the disk space. I need to grow this lun by atleast 30GB otherwise the process with bomb and that will not be good. chvg -g <vgname> is not working. I'm thinking I need to varyoff, then varyon this disk in order to get it to work, but I can't afford that now.
If anyone has any tips and have successfully did this without take the fs offline, I would love to hear it.

I have an iSCSI LUN of 200GB. I increased it to 250GB and when I try to increase the size of the vg, I'm getting an error that none of the volumes have increased in size.

We "lose" the iscsi device after a reboot - i.e., it appears in /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk but format cannot find it. Obviously, it won't mount either. This happens for two separately defined luns.
We must be missing a step in iscsiadm.
The luns are defined as targets, we can see them in... (2 Replies)

iscsi
ISCSI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ISCSI(4)
NAME
iscsi -- iSCSI initiator
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel configuration file:
device iscsi
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
iscsi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The iscsi subsystem provides the kernel component of an iSCSI initiator. The initiator is the iSCSI client, which connects to an iSCSI tar-
get, providing local access to a remote block device. The userland component is provided by iscsid(8) and both the kernel and userland are
configured using iscsictl(8). The iscsi subsystem is responsible for implementing the "Full Feature Phase" of the iSCSI protocol.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables:
kern.iscsi.ping_timeout
The number of seconds to wait for the target to respond to a NOP-Out PDU. In the event that there is no response within that time
the session gets forcibly restarted.
kern.iscsi.iscsid_timeout
The number of seconds to wait for ctld(8) to establish a session. After that time iscsi will abort and retry.
kern.iscsi.login_timeout
The number of seconds to wait for a login attempt to succeed. After that time iscsi will abort and retry.
kern.iscsi.maxtags
The maximum number of outstanding IO requests.
kern.iscsi.fail_on_disconnection
Controls the behavior after an iSCSI connection has been dropped due to network problems. When set to 1, a dropped connection causes
the iSCSI device nodes to be destroyed. After reconnecting, they will be created again. By default, the device nodes are left
intact. While the connection is down all input/output operations are suspended, to be retried after the connection is reestablished.
SEE ALSO
iscsi.conf(5), iscsictl(8), iscsid(8)
HISTORY
The iscsi subsystem first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
AUTHORS
The iscsi subsystem was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
