How to make free PP in Volume group
Okay,
I have a 10GB hdisk with AIX 5.3 with 0 free PPs, and I assigned a 15GB hdisk
made a successful alt_disk_clone on the new empty disk , however the new cloned disk should have free PPs but as it is cloned there is no free PPs.
Is there any way to allocate free PPs for the volume group of the cloned disk ?
Thanks
