1. Do you have OnlineJFS installed? (License required)
Secondly, we need to understand the fact that most of the things specified on books does not work when it comes to production environment. There are steps to do a lot of things, but, sometimes its a pain. Like, migrating a server from 11.11 to 11.31, its possible. But, again, you need to go through a lot of pain.
If I was going to do this, I would take a ignite backup (ignite is free), plan a downtime, restore it with the modified sizes. Should not take much time, no
confusions, no data loss, no pain.
Alternatively, you can also add up a lun / extend it from storage install DLE and work, or, extend your lvol on another disk under vg00 and proceed, but, again complicated.
Again, your scenario is possible. But, ignite would do a charm!

TRUNCATE(1) User Commands TRUNCATE(1) NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
