Building / Extending File Systems with SMIT on AIX

I have been assigned a task today to build / extend some file systems on an RS6000 / AIX Server.

Being Columbus Day, my usual contact for AIX help is not available today.  Been searching google for the last half hour and haven't really found anything useful yet.

I'm trying to find a good "How To" guide for using SMIT create a new logical volume / file system on a volume group as well as finding a similar guide for extending an existing file system.  

My experience is with HPUX and their tool SAM, I haven't used SMIT in 10 years or more.

Any pointers from AIX experts would be appreciated.

I'm sorry that really didn't help that much.  Given more time I could probably have worked it out from the documentation (but IBM's doco seems to want to to understand certain of their LVM concepts going in).

It's next day and the AIX resource is available and has set it all up for me.

Thanks anyway

Thanks for the links.  Given more time, I could have worked it out from that probably.
