Re: root partition to be increased
you could use ignite server, if you dont have a physical tape drive for ignite backup.
OR if this system is 11.23 and higher you could use DRD.

Re: root partition to be increased
If you have any external tape drive in any server, you can connect it to this server and take ignite backup.

Re: root partition to be increased
you need to install ignite first. From here:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=IGNITEUXB
Take backup. You can use the "-i" option while taking ignite backup so the the booting will always be interactive.
Then boot from ignite tape and go for interactive mode. Go to file system menu, i suppose, and change the size.

Re: root partition to be increased
>>so for that first need to install the ignite tool in the server right?
YES...
then while restore choose "ADVANCED INSTALLATION" there you define your new size of root and other file systems.

Re: root partition to be increased
Most recommended method from Hp is to take the ignite backup, make sure latest ignite software ├в C.7.8.201 ├в installed in serve.
(1) #ioscan ├в fnC tape ( to detect the path of tape it should be /dev/rmt/0mn )
(2)
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn
To take the ignite backup of root VG.
(3) Once it is completed you can verify successful completion in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log
(4) Boot the server from tape and then select ├в Advance installation mode ├в
Here you can modify new size of root.
(5) Take the full system offline backup before doing ignite backup and restoration (to be on safer side.).
Regards,
Subodh.

Re: root partition to be increased
while taking the ignite backup, make_tape_recovery how to backup as a boot image so whether we have to give any option like -b so that while booting from tape it will directly boot as boot image setup.
