growing a SAN Volume

We would like to grow a volume mounted from a SAN storage EVA5000. I
have searched the internet but have found only one solution:

Unattach the volume, resize it on the SAN storage, attach the larger
volume, format the volume.

Is this really the only way, are there no other ways to grow a
filesystem without reformatting the filesystem?

Thanks for any help
