Increasing an LVM

[mace]

I am getting ready to increase an LVM on one of my virtual Sles machines.
It has been 4 years since I have had to do this.
I found the procedure on how to do this but I feel I am missing something.
So my question is, after I add the space do I need to do some kind of resize or is this only done if the addtion is dynamic? It is and ext3 file system.

Are you adding an additional drive, or is the space already in your volgroup?

Here is a 2 second rundown on the steps.

1) make sure you have a good backup. That said, i have never had this procedure fail on me.... Yet.....

2) If you are adding another drive, then you will need to fdisk it to create a partition, use pvcreate to setup as physical volume, and vgextend to add it to your volgroup.

3) if/when the space is in your volgroup then you can use lvextend to increase your logical volume and resize2fs to reconfig the ext2/ext3 to see the additional space.

Are these the steps you have in the procedure you have found?

I will be using YAST for steps 2&3 but I thought I had to do somekind of resize, but couldn't remember
