In this kind of case it may happen the block size selected for the FS while its creation is different, so you can grow the FS by taking the size from( vxassist -g dgname maxsize diskname) command as mentioned below:

# vxassist -g oradgh maxsize emcpower67
Maximum volume size: 230391808 (112496Mb)

# /etc/vx/bin/vxresize -g oradgh fh01vol +230391808 emcpower67

/dev/vx/dsk/oradgh/fh01vol 934G 771G 153G 84% /fh01

So the FS grown as above.. Please let meknow if any doubts..

Thanks,
Yogesh
