Hi, I was told that 300GB of LUN has been allocated to my server by the SAN group. apart from rootvg i have 2 volume groups(oracle) for which i need to add space as follows:
oradbvg 250GB to be added
oralvg 50GB

what are the steps that i should follow after iam being told that LUN has been allocated.

thanks a lot in advance

it is not possible to add one hdisk to two vgs

your san guys have to make two luns, one 50 and one 250gb

the only solution I know is a power 5 vio server, which can cut lvs out of hdisks and map it as new hdisks to an lpar

command is:

extendvg <vgname> <hdisk>

perhaps you want to change disk settings before adding it to a vg
like "chdev -l <hdisk> -a queue_depth=2"

I think that is a vpath of 300 GB. Tell the SAN group to give 50 and 250 as funksen says. That is the best and easiest way. And if that is a vpath you cannot extend the vg with that command. Use smit and use Add a Data Path Volume to a Volume Group.This is easier.

hi, thank u both for ur replies.
