software raid in AIX is handled by the LVM layer, and if the LV is 
configured for mirroring ('copies=2'), then the resized LV will also be 
mirrored.

does lvresize resize the file system while online? I didn't think it 
did.  the man page for fsadm (referenced in the lvresize man page) says 
ext2/3/4 is unmounted before resizing.   ooops.  kind of hard to umount 
/var !
