You may also want to use the

disk show space

command to

display space usage information on the SCSI devices from which
you plan to add freespace.

To extend the volume set on container 0, use the

container

extend volume

command, as in the following example. In the

example, SCSI devices (2,2,0) and

(2,3,0)

, each with 100MB of space,

are added to container 0.

HPN0> container extend volume 0 ((2,2,0),100M) ((2,3,0),100M)

Executing container extend volume 0

((CHANNEL=2,ID=2,LUN=0),104,857,600)

((CHANNEL=2,ID=3,LUN=0),104,857,600)

After running the

container extend volume

command, use the

container list

command to display information about the

container, as in the following example. In the example, the Total
Size

column indicates that container 0 is now 300MB (megabytes) in

size. The Scsi C:ID:L column indicates that SCSI devices (2,01,0),
(2,02,0)

, and (2,03,0), each with 100MB of space, makeup container 0.

Extending a Multi-level Container of Volume Sets

The CLI allows you to extend a multi-level container of volume sets.
You use the

container extend mvolume

command to extend a

multi-level container of volume sets. The

container extend

volume

command adds additional containers to a multi-level

container of volume sets. When you extend a multi-level container
of volume sets, the file system on the multi-level container of
volume sets remains intact, and can be extended to include the
added space. If a file system exists on one of the containers to be
added, the extend operation will fail in order to protect any data on
that container. See Working with File Systems on page 9-33 for
information on extending a file system.
