Mount point expansion /app

Hi Guy's

I have mount point called /app with size 10 GB from EMC SAN
HTML Code:
/dev/dsk/emcpower2g    9.6G   9.8M   9.5G     1%    /app


I have expanded the size from SAN level to be 20 GB
But the mount point still is showing 10 GB

Can anyone advice us how to can I expand the new space on /app to be 20 GB without impacting /app data

If you are using UFS, growfs would be the right way.

How to point expand mount point in Solaris



This is the procedure I used to grow a UFS Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) with EMC Powerpath after a Clariion LUN expansion.
  1. Unmount the filesystem.
  2. type format -d <disk> where <disk> is the name of the emcpower device
  3. once in format, type p followed by p to show the current partition table. Make a copy of the partition table as it will be overwritten!
  4. type q and then type
  5. Next, pick option 0 autoconfigure. Warning: This will overwrite your current partition table.
  6. type p to display and modify the new partition table. After you make any necessary modifications to disk slices, type l, then q
  7. growfs /dev/rdsk/<disk> where <disk> is the name of the emcpower device
  8. Mount the filesystem.
