opt file system...move

???_185 — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 00:51:37 GMT

I try to install Ignite software(ignite-ux-11-11,B5725AA).But /opt files system is insufficient, and I couldn't install.
Is there any way to move space for installation from /opt to sufficient file system?

Hi,

No, I dont think you can move the target directory from /opt into sufficient file system.

The way is to extend /opt file system first, it's good to have OnlineJFS (purchaseable one) to resolve this issue. Otherwise you need to down your system to single user first to extend the file system.

Hope this information can help you.

Hi,

The other way around is to create /var/opt/ignite file system with the sufficient space.

Hope this information can help you.

It might be worth considering creating a filesystem called /opt/ignite and setting swinstall to install ignite to that directory.

Hi,
It's better idea to create new file system & mount as /opt/ignite & install ignite on that.

Hi,

Either u can create a directory ( mkdir /opt/ignit)and create a file seperate file system. mount the file system under /opt/ignit ... so during installation u can assign the path /opt/ignit ...

OR, u need to extend the file system. So if have JFS file system, u can online extend the /opt file system..

#lvextend -L (old size + new size)
#fsadm -b
it should help u to resolve ur issue..

cheers

Bear in mind that there is no requirement that /opt be on the boot disk (or even in /dev/vg00) although that is a non-stanard method. It is entirely possible to move /opt to a new filesystem.

so, just needs a only /opt/ignite file system?
and I don't know how to move /opt files system to an other?

Assuming you've got space to create a new filesystem for /opt/ignite you don't need to move /opt.

Hi,

There are lot of possibilities here. But it really depends on how much space do you have in your vg00. If you have the space in vg00 then extending opt will be considered as the better option then creating another file system as by doing so you will not have any problems while installing any new software some time later.

How much is the free space in vg00?

HTH,

Hi,
I agree with Devender, before looking for alternatives, I would look if I cannot start by increasing the size of /opt, so how much space left in vg00 (vgdisplay vg00, remember to divide by 2 if in mirroring)

You have lets say 150 MB you can use?
Next thing is to know if you have OnlineJfs.
If so you can do it online otherwise you will have to umount /opt (so be prepared to go single user in case of trouble)

No space?
Ther is nothing stopping you to create a link /opt/ignite ->to somewhere with more space...

All the best
Victor

you mean it needs 150M to install iginte in /opt/igite file system? and anything else?
I think it needs /var/opt/ignite file system and space?
the system hasn't OnlineJFS and does it have to be installed in vg00?

Dear Zungwon,

Check the amount of free space available in all the vgs. use #vgdisplay -v and get the free PEs and multiply by PE size(default is 4MB).

You can create a lvol in any of the vg which has more space and mount it on
/opt/ignite.

This should be OK for continuing with the install.

With Regards,

Siva.
