choosing correct VG for Filesystem extend

Hi Gurus,

I have Aix 5.3 server and would like to extend the following filesystem.

PHP Code:


Filesystem        GB blocks    Free     %Used  Iused    %Iused   Mounted on

/dev/lv_mecdr    120.00       12.04     90%   560973   14%     /home/mecdr

But there's only 16G for the VG, may be i can expand it with the cbsvg and logvg. I am not sure the procedure. Could you please help it how I can do it? Should I use "smit"??

PHP Code:
