Extending a logical volume and filesystem online in RHEL after disk resize

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • How do I make the extended size visible in PV and VG after extending the size of the existing disk?
  • When the existing vmdk disk is extended in ESX, PV and VG does not detect the new size.
  • How can I increase the size of my physical volume without rebooting?
