1. Verify that there is enough space available to grow the volume.

     vxassist maxgrow <volume-name>

   example:
     vxassist maxgrow dadb1-db15


2. Verify the filesystem type by checking /etc/vfstab

3. Grow the filesystem:

     cd /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/
     ./vxresize -F <filesystem type> -g <diskgroup> <volumename> + <size>

   example:
     ./vxresize -F vxfs -g dadbdg-hds voldb00 +16g


vxassist growto
