| I can see 2 options
1) Using addvol -x num_pages -p num_pages, add a new device to the
domain. Then remove one of the existing devices which will migrate
all the files on the device being removed over to the new device
which will use larger BMT extents and will have a larger initial BMT
to start with.
Now use the device just removed and add it back in with a larger -p
and -x options, then remove another old device from the domain.
Repeat until all the devices with the smaller BMTs have been cycled
out and back in again with larger -p & -x values. You may now
remove any excess devices.
2) Or vdump the data to tape or another device/filesystem. Recreate the
domain using larger -p and -x values. vrestore the data back onto
the newly recreated domain.
There may be some other approaches and if you search this notes
conference you can see what some other people did. Try using one of
the internal Alta Vista search engine web pages that catalogs internal
notes conferences for a faster search. For example:
