Error Message

VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-4283 resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result in loss of data.

Use -f option to force resize this volume.

There was vxfs filesystem on the volume, the type of the volume was gen and not fsgen (it will be visible in #vxprint -qvg ). This is what caused the error.

# vxprint -htg test for 'gen' volume:

v op01 - ENABLED ACTIVE 2097152 SELECT - gen

pl op01-01 op01 ENABLED ACTIVE 2097152 CONCAT - RW

sd disk1-01 op01-01 disk1 0 2097152 0 ams_wms0_122 ENA

- Verified that it is not a raw volume but it is having vxfs on it. So it is safe to -f option to force resize this volume.

The command syntax,"vxresize -g -f +" worked.

Example command: vxresize -g test -f op01 +1g
