Increasing / (root) size
Are you out there or anyone else that can answer this one?
I took Pete's advice from a March 22, 2007 thread on moving /tmp to another mount point to free up contiguous space after root to extend. I did that and everything is fine, now I need to extend root to take advantage of that space. Yes, I checked for files that shouldn't be there and everything like that and there is nothing. I have no choice but to extend root. The 200mb is not enough space to upgrade oracle 10G products and patch HP 11i products any more.
My question now is how do I actually extend root now, since I'm working in root? Do I need to log in as a single user to accomplish this or am I missing something?
Thank you for your help.

Re: Increasing / (root) size
If so, you should be able to do:
# lvextend -L
# fsadm -b
# bdf /
(To verify the extend worked)
That is all that's required if Online JFS is present.
If you DO NOT have Online JFS / Advanced JFS then you should do:
1) Reboot the machine and interrupt the boot process.
2) Boot from your primary drive - 'bo pri' command
3) At the ISL prompt go into LVM maintenance mode. 'hpux -lm'
4) Once there you can hopefully extend '/' by doing:
# /sbin/lvextend -L
# /sbin/extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol3
If it complains here because '/' is mounted, you might be out of luck.
5) Reboot the machine and let it come up in multi-user mode.

Re: Increasing / (root) size
The much smarter (and safer way) to expand root is via Ignite.

Re: Increasing / (root) size
For clarification, these products/patches do not reside in /, but when I go to install anything bigger than 75Mb now (patches or products), my disk analysis fails and states I need more space in /.

Re: Increasing / (root) size
Was able to take the advice above and boot to single user mode and increase / that way w/no issues at all UNTIL I reboot the system. I now am in a constant loop of gsmp alerts of software failure and then it goes into an immediate dump! HELP!

Re: Increasing / (root) size
At this point, using it may be the most expeditious way to recover your system.
Have you tried getting back into 'single-user mode' or 'lvm maintenance mode'? Did it work? If not, you may be facing a restore.
Other than that, without seeing the exact steps you took, their results, and the errors you are now getting, it is very difficult to offer intelligent suggestions.
