Did you check the technology level? AFAIR "chvg -g" came into AIX at some 5.3-TL, but i can't really remember which. You'll probably find that one easy enough, i suppose.

Yes, this is what i meant. I'm not sure if an iSCSI-connection and its drivers is/are able to propagate a LUN change to the AIX machine. Direct FC connections driven by SDD or PCM are able to do so, but that doesn't necessarily meant that the same is the case with iSCSI. Maybe what works over glass doesn't work over copper at all. We exclusively use FC connections, so i can't really help you there for lack of operating experience.
Have you tried a "bootinfo -s"? What does it report, the old or the new size? This should work regardless of the disk being in a VG or not, it questions the driver layer below the LVM.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
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.
How can I get the OS to see the additional 50GB?

I need to set up iscsi LUN on Solaris 9. I've done it on Solaris 10 with iscsiadm. How do you do it on Solaris 9 though? Currently using Solaris 9 update 2. Your help is appreciated.

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.

istgtcontrol
istgtcontrol(1) General Commands Manual istgtcontrol(1)
NAME
istgtcontrol - istgt iSCSI target command utility
SYNOPSIS
istgtcontrol [options] <command> [<file>]
DESCRIPTION
istgtcontrol is a command and control utility for istgt(1). It can be used to query and change the status of a local or remote istgt
instance.
istgtcontrol supports the commands denoted below to interact with the istgt instance. By default it connects and authenticates to the iSCSI
target portal specified in the istgtcontrol.conf configuration file and uses CHAP credentials denoted there, if any. Both can be overrid-
den by using the respecitve command line arguments.
COMMANDS
istgtcontrol understands the following commands which can be forwarded to istgt:
noop Do not actually do anything, but test responsiveness of the portal and test CHAP credentials only.
version
Retrieve the istgt version number providing the iSCSI portal istgtcontrol connected to.
list List all, or the specified targets only, which shared by the portal.
load Load a new media to the specified unit. This command issues the same command as if a drive tray had been closed on a SCSI device.
unload Unload a media from the specified unit. This command issues the same command as if the drive tray had been opened from a SCSI
device.
change file
Change the loaded media by the specified unit. This command is equivalent as if a new media (for example a DVD-ROM or tape car-
tridge) had been inserted in the SCSI drive. The "file" argument is interpreted as filename to be loaded.
reset Reset the specified LUN of the portal.
info Display all connections of the portal
OPTIONS
-c config
Use specified file as configuration file instead of the default file.
-h host
Override the target portal by the specified host name or IP address. This defaults to "localhost" if no other host was specified in
the configuration file.
-p port
Override the target portal port by the specified port number. This defaults to "3261" if no other port was specified in the configu-
ration file.
-t target
Specifies the target IQN which should be affected by the command given. There may be a default given in the configuration file. The
keyword "all" is accepted by some commands and matches all exported volumes.
-l lun Specifies the target LUN which should be affected by the command given. This defaults to "0" unless another default was provided in
the configuration file.
-f flags
Specifies flags passed to the portal when loading a new media. This defaults to "ro". Supported flags are: "ro", "rw", "extend" and
"dynamic".
-s size
Specifies the size of the meda to be loaded. The default is to auto-detect the media size.
-q Quiet mode, supress non-critical outputs.
-v Verbose mode, gives more output during operations.
-A method
Sets the preferred authentication method for logging in to the portal. This overrides any method specified in the configuration
file. Supported methods are either CHAP/Mutual or CHAP/Auto.
-U user
Sets the user to authenticate on the portal. This overrides any username specified in the configuration file.
-S secret
Set the secret used to authenticate on the portal. This overrides any secret specified in the configuration file.
-M muser
Set the mutual authentication user. This overrides any user specified in the configuration file.
-R msecret
Set the mutual authentication secret. This overrides any secret specified in the configuration file.
-H Display a brief usage summary and exit.
-V Display the istgtcontrol version number and exit.
FILES
/etc/istgt/istgtcontrol.conf
Configuration file
