1. Verify that there is enough space available to grow the volume.

vxassist maxgrow

example:
vxassist maxgrow dadb1-db15

2. Verify the filesystem type by checking /etc/vfstab

3. Grow the filesystem:

cd /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/
./vxresize -F -g +

example:
./vxresize -F vxfs -g dadbdg-hds voldb00 +16g
