    Extending a mount point dynamically requires AdvFS advanced utilities
    license. AdvFS advanced utilities needs to be purchased through a HP
    reseller.

    The only way to grow a mount point with out the utility is to backup
    your data, rebuild the mount point, and restore your data to the newly
    built mount point.

    Thanks everyone who responded on this issue, especially Tom.

    Subject: Follow up question on "growing a SAN Volume"

    I would find the ability to dynamically grow a filesystem mounted on a
    SAN volume very useful. A previous post lists the following as the way
    to do this:

    - showfdmn domain-name (gives me the dskX)
    - Extend the volume on the SAN storage (EVA)
    - hwmgr scan scsi
    - disklabel -rd dskX
    - mount -u -o extend domain-name#files /mountpoint

    When I try the mount command I get the following error:
    WARNING: -o extend option ignored.
    This option requires the AdvFS advanced utilities license.

    Does anyone know the approximate cost of the AdvFS advanced utilities
    license, or if it is free where I could get it? Is there a way to do
    the same thing without AdvFS advanced utilities license?
