I've kind of answered my own questions, by re-reading the mail and
re-checking the docs,
It looks like I will have to get the advfs utility license, addvol to my 2
domains, after first re-doing my ra3000 disks to present 2 seperate disks to
unix.
Correct me if Im wrong, but I think thats whats required.

Subject: Advfs query

I have checked through the documentation, and require some clarification.

I have 2 advfs partitions - /apps and /data on 2 different file domains.

apps_domain#apps /apps advfs..........
data_domain#data /data advfs..........

I am looking to extend these without the need to back up and restore as they
are quite large already and downtime is not easy to get.

>From the docs, I see that advfs utilities will allow an addvol to be done.
This will extend the domain, but the partition is mounted on a fileset, so
will using addvol to extend the domain allow the extension of the /app
directory is a way that is unknown to the users.
eg, will my /apps directory expand from 50Gb to 80Gb.

Also, can you only addvol a full disk, ie a dsk5c partition, or can I use
'g' and 'h' for /apps and /data. If not, I will have to reconfigure my new
ra3000 disks.

Thanks,
Alan
