You don't have to.
First create new physical volumes:
pvcreate /dev/dasdx1 /dev/dasdy1
Add new volumes to your volume group:
vgextend /dev/vgroup /dev/dasdx1 /dev/dasdy1
At this time you may see the new volumes added using "vgdisplay /dev/vgroup"
Unmount your file system:
umount /uxxx
Extend your logical volume:
lvextend -L+1G /dev/vgroupx/volx (if you want to extend 1 giga).
Mount your file system:
mount /dev/vgroup/volx /uxx
I hope this can help you.

Please respond to
jbaron
I have currently a database in a filesystem located in a DASD. I would
like to add 2 more DASD to this filesystem using LVM.
Do I have to erase previously all the data in my first DASD ? or does
this disk enhancement respect the previously existing data ?
Saludos,

Asunto: Re: LVM - maximum PV's?
Is there a device defined for it in the /dev directory?
For example, /dev/dasdaa, /dev/dasdaa1, /dev/dasdaa2, /dev/dasdaa3. You
can create them with the mknod command.

Subject: LVM - maximum PV's?
On a SUSE SLES8 system I've created an LVM with 15 full mod-3 3390's and
8 mod-9's. I cannot get the 9th mod-9 to becoem a member of LVM. the
pvcreate appears to work OK, but the volume is not on the pvscan list,
nor included in the vgdisplay total. Any ideas?
