RAID set enlarged , sites shows new size - but VG shows Free=0

[sneaks999]

Hi

I grew and changed a raid set in Mega RAID Console 2. The Sites show the proper size but I cannot use the extra space since Free=0. Is there something I need to do get the VG to understand that it has grown and that more space is now available

thanks
Craig

Try with the PV Resize tool in the Extended tools from the Console Screen enter CTRL ALT X - system will reboot.

if DSS is connected to external RAID via FC, a LUN is enlarged, could DSS recognise it without rebooting?

Yes a restart will be needed.

1. according to this url:
http://serverfault.com/questions/542...can-and-qlogic

new LUN will not be recognised for qlogic driver unless reloading driver except special driver available for redhat and suse only.

will this happen to DSS?

2. Does DSS require the drive without data? My san box already has partitions on it. I plan to attach to DSS via qlogic FC adapter. Will the partitions be preserved?
