Question

A database server is running low on space in its volume group 'vg_data'. You have installed a new 500 GB disk that the kernel detects as /dev/sdc. After partitioning is not required (you intend to use the whole disk), which sequence correctly adds this capacity to the existing volume group so a logical volume can later be extended?

Accepted Answer

Run 'pvcreate /dev/sdc', then 'vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc'

Answer

Run 'vgcreate vg_data /dev/sdc', then 'lvextend vg_data /dev/sdc'

Answer

Run 'lvcreate /dev/sdc', then 'vgmerge vg_data /dev/sdc'

Answer

Run 'mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc', then 'vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc'
