Operating Systems AIX Increase LUN size in AIX with VIOS and HACMP

Wrong doc?
According to APAR IZ80021, there is an error on man pages of chvg -g. It says that since AIX 6.1 TL4 this is no longer a restriction.

I have all AIX and VIOS in TL6.

I presume this is a bug on VIOS side.

I've already opened a ticket on IBM support for a problem with a loss of a LUN access when a failover of DS controller occurs, but they don't have a solution yet.

Thanks!

man chvg on aix7.1

Code:
      -g
            Will examine all the disks in the volume group to see if they have grown in size. If any disks have grown in size attempt to add additional PPs to PV. If necessary will determine proper 1016 multiplier and conversion to big
            vg. Notes:
              1    The user might be required to execute varyoffvg and then varyonvg on the volume group for LVM to see the size change on the disks.
              2    There is no support for re-sizing while the volume group is activated in classic or enhanced concurrent mode.
              3    There is no support for re-sizing for the rootvg.

if this is a bug, then it has made it's way even to aix 7.1
but I would call it lazy man page update policy then a bug Smilie
