3-4-2 Expanding a File System

Once you specify the file system you wish to expand and select a volume (LU) to be added from among the
volumes (LUs) allocated to the host, Provisioning Manager can automatically perform the process of expanding
the file system. However, the file system must have been created using a volume manager.

The volume specified to be added (a raw device or an HDLM device) is added to the volume group. The logical
volume configured from that volume group is then expanded, as is the file system on this logical volume.
