Wamaitha:

What kind of system are we talking about here?

On a Proliant, you can use ACU to see how your disk(s) is/are configured.

What OS is the box running?

hi wamaitha,

if your a novice in the world of hpux then the easiest way to check is thorugh SAM(system administration manager)
just type
#sam
from command line
the go to disk devices and you will see all the vg's an lvol's. probably VG00 with 8 lvol's.

with 11i a standard install can take between
4gb and 12gb depending upon whats installed, and which version of 11i

there are other command line utilities you can use to check aswell such as
#bdf

more info on hpux and the systems can be found at

www.docs.hp.com
