First think you want to do is format and partition your new disk Do an lsdasd to find the /dev name of your new disk. Then do a dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasdx where x corresponds to the new disk. After that, partition it with fdasd -a /dev/dasdx where x corresponds to the new disk. Then you'll be ready to pvcreate /dev/dasdx1. Then vgextend your VolGroup01. Then lvextend your logical volume. You'll probably then have to resize your filesystem, depending on what kind it is.

I can find examples of adding a disk with it's own unique mount point, but I need to add space to VolGroup01. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 5.0G 3.5G 1.3G 74% / /dev/dasda1 97M 25M 68M 27% /boot tmpfs 249M 0 249M 0% /dev/shm I've formatted the DASD, attached it to the System, created MDISK statements for the devices, LINKed them, got them "online". Now, how do I add them to VolGroup01? TIA, Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life Insurance Co.
