Hello,
I know, that you had this discussion a view days ago but I'm in the 
installation phase of our new production servers and I intend to migrate the 
data from UFS volumes to ZFS volumes in near future. For doing this it must be 
ABSOLUTELY sure that I can resize the SAN LUNs because during the last 4 years 
I had to double the LUN size every year. I tried to resize a test volume 
following some hints from this forum but didn't succeed.

My Environment and procedure of doing it:
* Sunfire X4600 running Solaris 10 (11/06) accessing through MPXIO an Compaq 
EVA3000 SAN

* Procedure of creation:
  > zpool create evatestpool c5t600508B4000104ED0001600001430000d0
  > zfs create evatestpool/testvol1
  > zfs set mountpoint=/testmnt/testvol1 evatestpool/testvol1

* Until here everything is fine, but than the resize had to follow:
  > zpool export evatestpool
  > than the resize of the LUN was performed within the SAN
  > format -e
  > Searching for disks...done

And the size is still the same.
Did I miss something? 

Thanks for your answer,
Gernot
