I have a RHEL6 guest running on vmware esx server and the root disk size is 30G and i increased the disk size and create another partition /dev/sda3 but i do not know how to increase the size of the VG and then intrun LV .. can anyone help me on this .
Code:
fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 61440 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000646cf
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2 501 512000 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:'-separated fields.
The first field for each entry gives the names by which a disk's entry may be selected, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The optional fields for each entry are:

dt str Type of controller (e.g. SMD, ESDI, floppy)
ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
sc num Number of sectors per cylinder, ns*nt default
su num Number of sectors per unit, sc*nc default
