Assuming that you are using LVM and your lun is presented to the host from a SAN or a machine that has an extra 50 GB to create a new lun and present it then what you can do is create the new 50GB lun, present it to the host and then get the host to see the new lun, etc... Then you should be able to add the new drive as a PV (Physical Volume) in LVM, once it is a PV in LVM add it to the same VG (Volume Group) of the existing lun. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but you should be able to tell LVM that you are removing the PV that currently hosts the lun data and you want it to move onto the new lun. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but that's the jist of it. If you don't have LVM I don't think this can be done online. > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjectunsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- Romeo Theriault System Administrator Information Technology Services -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
