	So you have a logical volume that has run out of space and you need to add more. Either it's a VM and you've added another disk file or it's a physical server and you've added another disk.		So you have a logical volume that has run out of space and you need to add more. Either it's a VM and you've added another disk file or it's a physical server and you've added another disk.

	1. Scan the scsi bus to find the new disk		1. Check the current disk devices with the following commands:

			# pvscan
			PV /dev/sdb1 VG data lvm2 [100.00 GiB / 0 free]
			PV /dev/sdc1 VG data lvm2 [100.00 GiB / 0 free]
			PV /dev/sda3 VG vg1 lvm2 [47.84 GiB / 17.59 GiB free]
			Total: 4 [247.83 GiB] / in use: 3 [247.83 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]

			# ls -al /dev/sd*
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sda
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sda1
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sda2
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sda3
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sdb
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sdb1
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sdc
			brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 33 Jan 22 01:14 /dev/sdc1

			2. Scan the scsi bus to find the new disk

			List the host SCSI adapters
			# ls /sys/class/scsi_host/
			host0 host1 host2

			Probe eash host adapter
			# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
			# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan
			# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
