Expanding LUN size in Sun Cluster (Oracle Solaris Cluster) Environment

We have Oracle database in Sun Cluster HA configuration with two mount point /u01,/u02. Our task is to expand LUN in /u02 mountpoint.

-------------------------------
Attension!!! Make shure that your DataStorage do not modify disk geometry while expanding your LUN, e. g. if it's change number of cylinder and sector per cylinder your data will be lost.
If it's change only number of cylinder, it's all right.

Expanding /u02 mountpoint

1) Take offline our cluster group, you need to do it because when you expand your lun, cluster will determine I/O failure and try to reallocate resource group.
root@sc01-n1:~ # clrg offline testdb
root@sc01-n1:~ # clrg status

=== Cluster Resource Groups ===

Group Name       Node Name       Suspended      Status
----------       ---------       ---------      ------
testdb           sc01-n1         No             Offline
                 sc01-n2         No             Offline

2) As you can see /dev/md/testdb-disk/dsk/d20 is a raid1 metadevice, there for we detach it's sub-mirror first:
root@sc01-n1:~ # metadetach -s testdb-disk d20 d22
testdb-disk/d20: submirror testdb-disk/d22 is detached

if something goes wrong we'll have sub-mirror with consistent filesystem.

3) Save vtoc from expanding devices
root@sc01-n1:~ # prtvtoc /dev/did/rdsk/d17s2 > d17s2.vtoc
root@sc01-n1:~ # prtvtoc /dev/did/rdsk/d16s2 > d16s2.vtoc

4) Expand our lun - testdb-disk/d21 (/dev/did/rdsk/d16)
  4.1) Expand lun in your DataStorage
  4.2) Enter format command, and choose expanded disk, in my case is a disk 7
root@sc01-n1:~ # format

SPARC OBP cheatsheet

Boot PROM Basics Boot PROM(programmable read only memory): It is a firmware (also known as the monitor program) provides: 1. basic hardware testing & initialization before booting. 2. contains a user interface that provide access to many important functions. 3. enables the system to boot from wide range of devices. It controls the system operation before the kernel becomes available. It provides a user interface and firmware utility commands known as FORTH command set. These commands include the boot commands, the diagnostic commands & the commands for modifying the default configuration.
