Do a "vxassist maxgrow" to find out how big your volume can grow. Volume
Manager is not the problem here. "vxresize" will try to grow your file
system with the volume. Make sure the file system supports the new size.

Thanks for reply. My concern is the Volume was created on a RAID 5 LUN on
Storage A3500 disk arrays. The LUN consists of 5 disk drives with a Hotspare
disk dirve.
Will the hotspare disk drive cause problem while resizing the volume?
Thanks again.

Nope

The spare is a disk. If a disk fails, it will replace a disk. The size of
the volume will not have any effect on this.
