man lsvg, man lspv, man chfs, man lsps

A volume group (vg) consists of one or more physical volumes (pv).
One pv belongs to exactly one vg *or* no vg at all.
In a vg the physical partitions (pp) are organized to logical volumes
(lv). If you have free pp's in the vg available, you can simply increase
the size of filesystem with "chfs -a size=+1 /mountpoint" by the size
of one pp.

"lsps -a" lists all paging spaces and their status.
