I want to create another vdisk in my logical volume.  My volume group has free space yet.  Can I make my logical volume bigger?

You may want to create another volume -- each volume is meant to be used with a single virtual server.

In 3.1, it is not possible to increase the size of your volume; you will need to create a new volume and clone the vdisks in the existing volume to it.

Extending the LV would be a server down time event then?

When you say "volume" do you mean "volume group", "logical volume", or "virtual disk" which also is denoted as "V" ?

I meant logical volume. Extending a logical volume requires the virtual server to be stopped in version 3.1.
