Unable To Extend the Size of a Logical Volume File System

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!

LVSCAN(8) System Manager's Manual LVSCAN(8) NAME
lvscan - scan (all disks) for Logical Volumes SYNOPSIS
lvscan [-a|--all] [-b|--blockdevice] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose] DESCRIPTION
lvscan scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices in the system for defined Logical Volumes. The output consists of one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active, a snapshot or origin, the size of the device and its allocation policy. Use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain more-comprehensive information about the Logical Volumes. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. --all Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable). For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog. -b, --blockdevice This option is now ignored. Instead, use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain the device number. SEE ALSO
