Disk space

[Jeff Hagstrom]

Is there a report or command that will show how much disk space is on the Machine? How much is being used? And how much is unallocated?

[Ken Hubnik_2]

bdf or you can use showfree

Hi Jeff,

bdf is the command you need.

Hi Jeff


how much sapce and how much is unallocated ,

sam-->disks and file systems-->Volume Groups.
or you can run something like

vgdisplay | grep PE | grep -v PV | grep -v Mb

to know Total PE, Alloc PE and Free PE volume grouop wise.


there are some scripts which i collected from these forms only which u can use to get eh information too .

Hi Jeff:

Depending on what exactly you are looking for some combination of one or more of the following commands suffice:

# ioscan
# diskinfo
# pvdisplay
# vgdisplay
# lvdisplay
# bdf

Regards!

Jeff,

Yes, bdf will take care of filesystem space, but, if you have raw logical volume space (like database space for example), you need to also look at vgdisplay -v.

Use ..
# bdf -l
to see the utilization of a configured and mounted filesystem space. It does not represent all available disk space.
Other commands and combination of commands are needed to determine the "unconfigured" disk space. For example ..
# ioscan -fnC disk
==> Take not of all disk paths.
# /etc/diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
==> Find out the capacity of a disk.
# strings /etc/lvmtab
==> Find out which disks are configured with LVM.
.. and so on ..
