• AIX LVM in practice: lsvg/lspv/lslv, growing a JFS2 filesystem online, and mirroring rootvg

  AIX's own Logical Volume Manager organizes disks into volume groups, logical volumes and JFS2 filesystems, inspected with lsvg/lspv/lslv rather than Linux's pvs/vgs/lvs. Growing a filesystem online is one chfs command; mirroring rootvg for availability is a four-step sequence (extendvg, mirrorvg, bosboot, bootlist), not just mirrorvg.
