How to specify the size of various logical volumes in golden image in terms of % disk size of target

[willsfrazer]

Hi,

I want to change the configuration file of golden image of HP UX 11i v3 [11.31] such that depending upon the target system's disk size it can allocate MBs/GBs to all the logical volumes and swap and stand in such a way that it is always sufficient for any target no matter disk size is different for all the targets provided it's sufficient for installing HP UX 11i v3.

Here what I ma looking for is the syntax where in I can say use x% of disk space for swap, x1 % for /var and x2% of free space for /opt and so on...

Thanks,
Wills.

Shalom Wills,

Unless some new feature has been added you have to calculate this and then enter the sizes.

This will also lead to poor results.

/stand doesn't need to be much more than a few hundred megabytes. If you set it up as a percentage of disk size, you will waste a lot of space on larger boot disks that you will never use.

The OS is pretty static in what it requires.

using a % for os filesystems depending on disk size seems frivolous to me..

As mentioned if stand is static at 500MB then why allocate 1GB or 2GB because you have a bigger disk. What a waste.

For every system that I have, the size of the OS lvols/fs are static and based on a standard, so each server gets built the same way. Using some variable approach just does not seem like a good approach to me.
