we dont have an
Code:
lsvg -l

either to unterstand how it is organised ( mirror between to bays? etc... ) And I may be wrong as now I use only mirror pools

It looks like you are in morror and yes you added new disks but are they one in each mrirror copy etc...

If you are stripped with strict policy you are stuck...you will have to add as many disks it needs to respect the stripping policy, but one way perhaps to see if true would be to do a
Code:
 reorgvg datavg

as if the stripping is not strict, it will move blocks to unused disks and free the ones completely full, beware if this have never been done before ( running tht command...) it can take quite some time ( in hours...)
If it worked, you can try
Code:
 chfs -a size=+2000M /oradata

and see if that works.. if so you are a happy guy...

NAME
gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application SYNOPSIS
gnome-disks [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks and block devices. The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit immediately. OPTIONS
The following options are understood: --block-device DEVICE Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda). --block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID] Shows the "Format Volume" dialog for the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the dialog transient to the given XID. --help Prints a short help text and exits. AUTHOR
