As always, Dr. Thomas Blinn has the definitive answer. Thanks also to Mandell Degerness.
Prior to V5.1B, there is no way to get an AdvFS domain to "see
the bigger volume". You can create a NEW volume with the new
disk storage in it (under LSM control) and then add the new
volume to your existing AdvFS domain (if you have the license
for the ADVFS-ADVANCED utilities, or whatever it's called), if
you don't have the use of the "addvol" utility, however, then
you are faced with backup all the filesets, destroy all of the
filesets and the domain, recreate the domain on the larger
volume, recreate all the filesets, then restore the data. Not
pretty. Of course, if you can update to V5.1B then you get the
new AdvFS that can "see" the larger volume under the domain..

Managers,
I have an external disk shelf with 4 drives in it. RAID 1 with simple concatenation. (I know striping would be good, but speed is not very important.)
I have a AdvFS domain sitting on top of the LVM volume.
I need to install 2 additional drives in the shelf and increase my file domain size.
Unfortunately, I just have a base AdvFS license and I'm unlikely to get an Advanced AdvFS license.
I'm pretty sure I can mirror and concatenate them to the LVM volume easily enough.
Then I need to extend my AdvFS domain to see the bigger LVM volume.
How do I get a AdvFS domain to recognize the bigger LVM volume?
Can I do this without unmounting my filesets?
Or is a really bad case of having to backup/re-configure/restore?
