Need extend root lvm using expert recovery shell

[VK2COT]

Hello Aungshu,

Do not waste your time on doing this.
Plus, you are breaking the best practices
for HP-UX. Root file system is not meant to
be a "dump wasteland" for every application
on tyhe planet (SAP included).

You are trying to help a person
who does not know what they are talking
about.

Get a better SAP consultant or ask
them for justification. Believe me,
there is NONE!

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

Probably a sap consultant who is used to working on a solaris system, were giving the root "slice" "everything" that is not needed for the other "slices", of the rootdisk, is a common practice..

Hi Bill,

Making the / mountpoint = 10 GB is simply insane, probably because the consultant is used to running tiny workstations where everything is stored in one big directory.

- with all respect, yes of course you have to 99% right with the large or single /, but in my opinion, its depend on the Customer requrements, if you build for example some development system with SAP, and you have for example rx4640 with two disks, of course mirrored with LVM, because of SPOF, and actually nobody is able to define some FS size such a /, /opt, /usr ......, and them you need to make some standard SAP mount point structure, of course /oracle/....SAPID/.... dedicated in VG00s lvols, you don't have much choices.

its better to make a single FS / for the system, and of course separated FS ofor the SAP data and them after installation of SAP you can easy make Ignite and recover the system with dedicated system FS.

that's my personal opinion, saw it serveral times in the customers enviroments.

What is the purpose of having 10GB of / file system? you should ask the SAP guy. SAP guy may just want some space to dump his application code temporary...

Shalom,

The SAP consulting is cracked. I'd like to know what he's been smoking.

The root file system is not supposed to include any data files, not even from SAP. All files installed by SAP should be in mounted file systems, not root.

Please ignore the SAP consultant and tell him what Bill Hassell said.
