[ldoms-discuss] growing vxvm volumes and ldom 1.0.3

[Alexandre Chartre]

  That's correct. Before 1.0.3 this happens to be working but mostly by
chance. This will be fully supported when bug 6699271 is fixed.

We are using LDoms 1.0.3 and Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 MP1 installed on both the control domain and on the logical domain. I ran the vxassist in the control domain to grow the volume and then I try to run the fsadm command in the logical domain to grow the filesystem but I get an error saying that I cannot expand more then the size of the underlying device.

If I stop the domain, unbind and rebind it, then the OS on the logical domain sees the correct disk size. Boot -r or devfsadm would not correct this. Only a unbind and re-bind corrected it.
