Any experiences you all have had would be appreciated. I now have 2 more N-class servers sitting here in plastic waiting for HP to come out and start-up.
Usage now is:
# bdf
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 147456 58953 82999 42% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 87701 28232 50698 36% /stand
/dev/vg00/lvol8 1163264 894410 252342 78% /var
/dev/vg00/lvol7 1236992 561154 633639 47% /usr
/dev/vg00/lvol9 2457600 1813748 604919 75% /usr/orasys/8.1.7
/dev/vg00/lvol4 1073152 292102 732822 28% /tmp
/dev/vg00/lvol6 2097152 848709 1170449 42% /opt
/dev/vg00/lvol5 1605632 457972 1075953 30% /home
There isn't much installed just Omniback, Ignite, Mirror/ux, C+ compiler, C/Ansi, Jetdirect Printer Installer.
We will be installing Veritas's backup suite and I would like to install some of the HP diags / utilities. The system drive is 36 GB.
Thanks,
Donna Yedziniak
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionI agree that the provided logical volume sizes are a bit conservative, to say the least.
The easiest way to deal with this would be to create an Ignite 'make_tape_recovery' tape and re-install your server as the very first step in your customization / localization.
Bring up your new server, and load a current version of Ignite from:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html
Use this to capture the virgin configuration:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn
Note that the "-I" in 'make_tape_recovery' causes the subsequent recovery process to be interactive. If you use the '-I' option, booting from tape will automatically offer the interactive Ignite recovery mode.
Choose the Advanced Installation mode and on the FileSystem tab note the "Additional Tasks" option. Selecting this will offer you the ability to change the physical vg attributes and set things like 'largefiles' etc.
You can then choose vg00 filesystem sizes that work best in your environment. Since you have 36GB boot disks, I'd be generous in choosing filesystem sizes, particularly for /var, /usr, and /opt.
