Yes, for both you'll need a backup as you would destroy the file systems in the LVs.
If you are unsure, do a backup of all your stuff, just in case. Better safe than sorry
I don't know which tools you have for backup. Having a full backup at hand won't harm.
I would backup data in FS1 and FS2, umount them, delete the FSes and LVs, delete the VG (as I understood there is only those 2 FSes so nothing else will be harmed), delete the PV, and delete the partition underneath it.
Then recreate as you like it (see my previous post) and then recreate all levels of LVM objects on that new partition.
If you dislike to do it on command line, there are graphical tools/frontends like gparted etc.

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Ok, I'm a newbie to AIX so I just want to make sure my thinking is correct with regards to this issue. Any insight you guys could give would be appreciated. A main question I have is should I shutdown the database to extend this LV?

vgextend
VGEXTEND(8) System Manager's Manual VGEXTEND(8)NAME
vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--restoremissing] [-f|--force] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [ PHYSICAL DEVICE
OPTIONS ] VolumeGroupName PhysicalDevicePath [PhysicalDevicePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
Moreover, it allows you to re-add a physical volume that has gone missing previously, due to a transient device failure, without re-ini-
tialising it. Use vgextend --restoremissing to that effect.
If PhysicalDevicePath was not previously configured for LVM with pvcreate (8), the device will be initialized with the same default values
used with pvcreate. If non-default pvcreate values are are desired, they may be given on the commandline with the same options as pvcre-
ate. See PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS for available options. Note that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid, and --physi-
calvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation is needed, use pvcreate (8) and vgcfgrestore (8).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available for initializing physical devices in the volume group. These options are further described in the
pvcreate man page.
-f, --force
-y, --yes
-Z, --zero y|n
--labelsector sector
--metadatasize size
[--metadataignorey|n]
--pvmetadatacopies copies
--dataalignment alignment
--dataalignmentoffset alignment_offset
Examples
"vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) )
"/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4".
