growfs on iSCSI-SAN Lun

Hello

i'm using Solaris 10 on a Sun X4100 - the Server is connected via iSCSI to a Netapp Filer Lun. The current Size of the LUN / Filesystem has 20 Gb. I like to resize the LUN to 40 Gb.

On a SPARC Server it磗 very easy -

- Lun resize - on the Filer

- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2 bs=512 count=1

- format -> new label, partitioning

- growfs -M /mnt/mysql01 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0

- finished ;-)

on the X4100 it磗 not so easy - the new disk dosen't detect the new geometry, capacity, label. A format tell me always 20 Gb....

Any suggestions would be of help.

thanx

You need to use format to change the disk type to automatic.This will force it to pick up the new geometry.It will overwrite your partition table so you will loose any contents of the fs
