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?
Technically, extendlv will extend the LV. chfs will extend the LV and grow the filesystem.
You are correct on the LPs. The LV is not mirrored, so it will take only one PP per LP.
As a side note, I tend to use the free PP/LP numbers in lsvg, rather than look for the disk in the VG and then look for the free PP/LPs there.

Oh... and to your original question about shutting down the DB. It should not be necessary, but it may be best to do this in a window (non-production hours).
The fact that this filesystem is so full *may* be problematic.
