Here we want to resize the mount point /u03 from 484 GB to 499 GB

[root@ncbsdb admin]# pvs

  /dev/mapper/mpatha1 u02 lvm2 a--   <1 .30t="" g="" nbsp="" p="">  /dev/mapper/mpathe1 u01 lvm2 a--  499.98g       0

  /dev/sda3           ol  lvm2 a--    1.09t    4.00m

Here we can see that the physical volume showing still 15.98 GB available

Now we will resize 

[root@ncbsdb admin]#lvresize -L+15G /dev/u03/u03

Now check the size of mount point /u03 but still showing 484 GB

Step by step : How to add space in existing file system from Physical Volume (LVM)

Step 1. Check Physical Volume and Volume Group  

[root@oracledb ~]# pvs
  PV         VG   Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
  /dev/sda2  rhel lvm2 a--  19.05g  4.00m
  /dev/sdc3       lvm2 a--  11.72g 11.72g
[root@oracledb ~]# vgs
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rhel   1   4   0 wz--n- 19.05g 4.00m
 
Step 2. Now add 11.72 GB to rhel VG
 
[root@oracledb ~]# vgextend rhel /dev/sdc3
  Volume group "rhel" successfully extended
 
[root@oracledb ~]# vgs
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rhel   2   4   0 wz--n- 30.77g 11.72g
 
Step 3. Check file system
 
[root@oracledb ~]# df -h
Filesystem             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel-root  7.9G  6.5G  1.4G  83% /
devtmpfs               909M     0  909M   0% /dev
tmpfs                  918M   84K  918M   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                  918M  9.1M  909M   1% /run
tmpfs                  918M     0  918M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/rhel-home  497M   47M  451M  10% /home
/dev/sda1              497M  122M  376M  25% /boot
/dev/mapper/rhel-u01   8.8G  6.9G  2.0G  78% /u01
/dev/sr0               3.5G  3.5G     0 100% /run/media/root/RHEL-7.0 Server.x86_64

Step 4. Check Logical Volume Status

[root@oracledb ~]# lvs
  LV   VG   Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  home rhel -wi-ao---- 500.00m
  root rhel -wi-ao----   7.81g
  swap rhel -wi-ao----   1.95g
  u01  rhel -wi-ao----   8.79g
[root@oracledb ~]# vgs
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rhel   2   4   0 wz--n- 30.77g 11.72g
 
Step 5. Now Merge added 11.72 GB space with /dev/rhel/u01 
 
[root@oracledb ~]# lvextend /dev/rhel/
/dev/rhel/home  /dev/rhel/root  /dev/rhel/swap  /dev/rhel/u01
[root@oracledb ~]# lvextend /dev/rhel/u01 /dev/sdc3
  Extending logical volume u01 to 20.51 GiB
  Logical volume u01 successfully resized
[root@oracledb ~]#

Step 6. Still /dev/mapper/rhel-u01 size previous one but lvs command output showing added space

[root@oracledb ~]# df -h
Filesystem             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel-root  7.9G  6.5G  1.4G  83% /

tmpfs                  918M     0  918M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/rhel-home  497M   47M  451M  10% /home
/dev/sda1              497M  122M  376M  25% /boot

  LV   VG   Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  home rhel -wi-ao---- 500.00m
  root rhel -wi-ao----   7.81g
  swap rhel -wi-ao----   1.95g
  u01  rhel -wi-ao----  20.51g

Step 7.  Now extend /u01 filesystem size

[root@oracledb ~]# resize2fs /dev/mapper/rhel-u01
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/rhel-u01
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Note: Possible reason is, the mounted filesystem would be XFS filesystem. SO resize2fs wont work for xfs filesystem, we should use xfs_growfs instead of resize2fs.

Thats it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step by step to create LVM (PV, VG and LV) in Linux 7

Scenario : Here we will use two HDD (10 GB and 5 GB) to create 3 LVM ( LV1, LV2 and LV3) which will be sized as 2 GB, 3 GB and 4 GB respectively and will mapped as /data1, /data2 and /data3 accordingly.


Solution:

Step 1: Check that 2 HDD is attached or not

Step 5: Now we will create two PV , one using /dev/sdb1 and /sdc1 and another using /dev/sdb2

[root@rhel7 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
  Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" successfully created
[root@rhel7 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb2

Step 6: Now we will create a vg named linux and allocate two pv into it

[root@rhel7 ~]# vgcreate -s 16M linux /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc1

Note: Here physical extent (PE) size 16 MB, 4 MB is default

Step 7: Now we will create a lv1, lv2 and lv3 named lv1 with vg linux

[root@rhel7 ~]# lvcreate --name lv1 --size 2G linux

[root@rhel7 ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/linux/lv2

[root@rhel7 ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/linux/lv3

Step 9: Now create three directory (/data1, /data2 and /data3) to mount three lvm 

[root@rhel7 ~]# mkdir /data1

[root@rhel7 ~]# mkdir /data2

[root@rhel7 ~]# mkdir /data3

[root@rhel7 /]# mount /dev/linux/lv3 /data3
