I found this discussion just today as I recently set up my first S10 machine
with ZFS. We use a NetApp Filer via multipathed FC HBAs, and I wanted to know
what my options were in regards to growing a ZFS filesystem.
After looking at this thread, it looks like there is currently no way to grow
I like option #1 because it is simple and quick. It seems unlikely
that this will lead to an excessive number of luns in the pool in most
cases unless you start with a large number of very small luns. If you
begin with 5 100GB luns and over time add 5 more it still seems like a
reasonable and
I can understand lun expansion capability being an issue with more a
traditional volume manager or even a single lun but with pooled
storage and the ability to expand the pool, benefiting all filesystems
in the pool it seems a shame to consider lun expansion a show stopper.
Even so, having all

How do you grow the VTOC on UFS dynamically?

Hey David
might I need to track the evolution of that size-change utility to ZFS
could I have a contact at Sun that would be able to give me more information on
that ?
Being able to resize LUNS
Title: Re: license keys
Some hints :
This could be done online using VxVM cli : "# vxdisk resize VM_dev"
after lun resizing on the StorageBox side.
This is subject to an expensive license fee
No sure that you could do it online with no VxVM...

Yannick,
How do you grow the VTOC on UFS
Hi Yannick,
Just to be sure I understand the restriction; with the clariion you
are limited in host side volume management so that basically you use
single luns with ufs filesystems on them and if you need additional
space in the ufs filesystem the only option is to resize the lun on
the clarion,

Being able to resize LUNS dynamically Is a reality here, I currently do it with
UFS after a EMC Clariion LUN Migration to a
I'm planning on putting back the changes to ZFS into Opensolaris in
upcoming weeks. This will still require a manual step as the changes
required in the sd driver are still under development.
The ultimate plan is to have the entire process totally automated.
If you have more questions, feel
I don't believe LUN expansion is quite yet possible under Solaris 10 (11/06).
I believe this might make it into the next update but I'm not sure on that.
Someone from Sun would need to comment on when this will make it into the
production release of Solaris.
I know this because I was working
Hello,
I know, that you had this discussion a view days ago but I'm in the
installation phase of our new production servers and I intend to migrate the
data from UFS volumes to ZFS volumes in near future. For doing this it must be
ABSOLUTELY sure that I can resize the SAN LUNs because during
