NO!! Again, for the umpteenth time now: you SHOULD NOT - even if you can!! You should recreate the VG on as few as possible LUNs, create new filesystems, then restore the contents of the old filesystems to the new VG, then delete the old VG, then remount the FSes. If you add another "1TB disk later" you will then have 30 disks in the VG (instead of the already 29 that are in it). This is unmanageable in the long run (and even on short term). Instead of learning ways how to more effectively use a crutch you should consider learning how to walk.
Of course you can do whatever you want, but ask yourself: does it make sense to even ask if you are going to disregard what you are being told anyways?
I hope this helps.

I am running solaris 10 with Veritas. I want to extend a filesystem. It's an oracle partition (/ora12). How can I find out if there is space available to expand the filesystem and then how does one extend it.
I'm from the HPUX world and so LVM was always how I did things.
Thanks

virt-list-filesystems
virt-list-filesystems(1) Virtualization Support virt-list-filesystems(1)
NAME
virt-list-filesystems - List filesystems in a virtual machine or disk image
SYNOPSIS
virt-list-filesystems [--options] domname
virt-list-filesystems [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...]
OBSOLETE
This tool is obsolete. Use virt-filesystems(1) as a more flexible replacement.
DESCRIPTION
"virt-list-filesystems" is a command line tool to list the filesystems that are contained in a virtual machine or disk image.
"virt-list-filesystems" is just a simple wrapper around libguestfs(3) functionality. For more complex cases you should look at the
guestfish(1) tool.
OPTIONS
--help
Display brief help.
--version
Display version number and exit.
-c URI
--connect URI
If using libvirt, connect to the given URI. If omitted, then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used at all.
--format raw
Specify the format of disk images given on the command line. If this is omitted then the format is autodetected from the content of
the disk image.
If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks libvirt for this information. In this case, the value of the format
parameter is ignored.
If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should ensure the format is always specified.
-l
--long
With this option, "virt-list-filesystems" displays the type of each filesystem too (where "type" means "ext3", "xfs" etc.)
-a
--all
Normally we only show mountable filesystems. If this option is given then swap devices are shown too.
SHELL QUOTING
Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which have meaning to the shell such as "#" and space. You may need to quote
or escape these characters on the command line. See the shell manual page sh(1) for details.
