Grow LUN and add partition to VMware Virtual DIsk for Red Hat

Red Hat 5.6 running on VMware vSphere.

Grab a snapshot before messing with any of this.
This procedure is slightly different if you are messing with /dev/sda (if that's where your / is)


# Determine what VGs are assigned to the disk you are messing with...
#   in this case... /dev/sdb
for PART in `fdisk -l /dev/sdb | grep ^/dev | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do pvdisplay $PART | grep VG\ Name | awk '{ print $3 }' | sort -u; done
vg_test

# Figure out what volumes are mounted on that VG
df -h | grep SCOREDATA

umount /SCORE_Data
lvchange -a n /dev/SCOREDATA/SCORE_Data
vgchange -a n SCOREDATA
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
fdisk -u /dev/sdb
# n p 2 t 8e w
partprobe /dev/sdb
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
vgchange -a y SCOREDATA
mount -a
pvcreate /dev/sdb2
vgcreate SCOREARCH /dev/sdb2
FREEPE=`pvdisplay /dev/sdb2 | grep Free\ PE | awk '{ print $3 }'`
echo $FREEPE
lvcreate -l+${FREEPE} -nSCORE_Archive SCOREARCH
