Hello,
expanding LVM works the same as in any other Linux. There are no modifications from Veeam side. After the logical volume was expanded, you also need to grow the file system.

There are at least two ways:
1) use live boot, enable SSH and chroot into the system. Disabling SELinux with "setenforce 0" removes the need to re-label files if files are changed (didn't test it myself, but it might even work without disabling selinux)
2) unlock the root account via single user mode (this requires autorelabel because of SE-linux. I personally tend to avoid that). Then edit the SSH configuration files to allow root login or add the vhradmin to the wheel group. Set SSH to auto-start. Once all changes are done, revert the root account, SSH settings etc.

Best regards
Hannes
PS: I also added you +1 to the feature request to add "expand storage" in the user interface

I take it the new JeOS VHR does not have the extend option yet either? So +1 for me too.
