How to grow vxfs directory but the server is in Veritas Cluster environment?
Hello,

Usually I use "vxresize" to grow vxfs directory in a stand-alone server without any problems, but I am just told to grow vxfs directorys in Veritas Cluster nodes.

Since I never done it before, would like to ask all the experts here to make sure the concept and steps will be fine before I pursue.

Example-1:

2 nodes cluster ( server-a and server-b ) in VCS control

Request: grow /opt/oracle with additional 10GB

What I notice is: the cluster is not using Veritas Cluster File System to mange its file systems =>

Which means, I can't grow file system in master node, then expect slave node will grow too .... I need to grow file systems separately on both cluster nodes --> is this concept correct?

server-a# df -h | grep /opt/oracle
/dev/vx/dsk/serveradg/optoracle 20G 13G 6.7G 66% /opt/oracle

server-b# df -h | grep /opt/oracle
/dev/vx/dsk/serverbdg/optoracle 20G 13G 6.8G 66% /opt/oracle

The reason I want to make sure is that I don't have clear Veritas Cluster knowledge, so I always thought that to grow filesystem in one node, the other nodes in the cluster should see the same change automatically, but while reasing online, I noticed this seems only works if file systems are under Veritas Cluster Filesystem control, so I would like to be careful before I go to run "vxresize" ... to prevent I am not going to mess up the cluster.

Can anyone help to share/confirm that I should still go to each node in the cluster to grow file systems even though those nodes are in the same cluster, but not in Veritas Cluster Filesystem control?

Thank you very much,

SC
