First you need to know which filesystem that you’ll resize. Get the logical volume
root@aix:/ # df -m /u04
Filesystem MB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/lvcrnstore 34816.00 1892.34 95% 103 1% /u04
With this information you type lslv lvcrnstore to find out about the volume group that this logical group is part of. Check if there are FREE PPs to extend the filesystem
root@aix:/ # lsvg oraclevg
VOLUME GROUP: oraclevg VG IDENTIFIER: 000d400c00004c00000000fd81379ca3
VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 256 megabyte(s)

Resize the filesystem and check the new size
root@aix:/ # chfs -a size=+4G /u04
Filesystem size changed to 79691776root@aix:/ # df -m /u04
Filesystem MB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/lvcrnstore 38912.00 5987.71 85% 103 1% /u04
Notice that the number of free PPs decreased since you used to increase the filesystem
