growing a volume

2007-12-25 2:49:00

i want to increase the size of my volume using vxassist...these are the
steps:
1.)Initialize the disk
2.)add it to the 'disk group' containing the volume to be grown
3.)use
"vxassist -g <diskgroup> growto <volume> <new_len>"

But after adding the new disk to the 'disk group' do I need to create the
file system on it before using it to grow the volume....or wld "vxassist"
automatically create the required file system.

Also is it necessary to umount the volume to be grown.
with regards
ashish
