I'm referring to the VIOS side. I need to get the VIO virtual disk expanded first, then from the lpar run

Code:

cfgmgr

and verify the PV size changes with

Code:

bootinfo -s hdisk*

Once those are accomplished, I can then expand the VG.

I was able to figure this out. Here are the steps for future reference.

This is for VIOS with logical volumes (virtual disks) based on storage pools.

1. Storage admin added 40gb to existing LUN.

2. Checked VIO for pv size increase

Code:

$ oem_setup_env
# bootinfo -s hdisk*

3. Checked VIO for vg size increase

Code:

chvg -chksize vg*

4. Increase size of logical volume (virtual disk)

Code:

chbdsp -sp sp* -bd lv* -size 40g
Backing device size changed.

5. Next, checked lpar for pv increase

Code:

bootinfo -s hdisk*

6. Checked lpar vg for size

Code:

lsvg vgname

7. Extend lpar vg

Code:

chvg -g vgname

8. Recheck lpar vg for new size

Code:

lsvg vgname

This was all done using command line; no need to restart the lpar. I checked within IVM just for reference.
