One of VM running red hat and have attached 3 drives, all the drive type are think provision.
In windows environment if increase HDD than need to initialize the new space from device manager.
So how it works in Linux world?
Thanks,
I've attached a doc with step-by-step procedure to extend LVM. You will have to customize the commands and replace the LVM from your linux box.
Let me know if you have any questions.

You will have to reboot the server if you are expanding the existing vmdk.(Maybe partprobe can help but I am not sure)
Reboot the server and follow the steps from the doc I attached.
Were you able to increase the vol?
I have to schedule the downtime so will do today or tomorrow. Will update you once done.
were you able to get this sorted?
Yes and thank you for your help
