File System can not be resize when using the vxresize command

#/etc/vx/bin/vxresize -F vxfs -g sf6ux002-coedg vol_oracle +5g
VxVM vxresize ERROR V-5-1-4283  resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result in loss of data. Use -f option to force resize this volume.

To increase the size of the  File System:

First is to increase the volume by using the vxassist command.

Second increase the File System by using the fsadm command.

Example:

#vxprint -htg <diskgroup> <volume>

#vxprint -htg sf6ux002-coedg vol_oracle
