I'm trying to figure out the best way to solve our problem.
I have an ignite server with 2 drives. One drive (main one) holds all logical volumes. It's almost out of space.... Another drive is currently unused.
I have two options:
1. moving /var/opt/ignite to another drive. What will that require? Do i need to do swcopy for that? What about all config files that are poiting to /var/opt/ignite for depots?
2. moving whole /opt partition to another drive. I'm not exactly sure how it's done. If you could point me to correct literature, I would really appreciate. I found some online, but i'm not sure if this what i need. I've never really done it before and very nervous because it's a production server.
Please let me know what's the best way to work around my problem...
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: need an advice with running out space and ignite server
1. Back up the entire system
2. either add the unused drive to vg00, or createe a new vg for it
3. Create a lv on the new drive of the size you /var/opt/ignite to be
4. mount the new lvol to temporary mount point
5. make sure no ignite processes are running
6. move the data in var/opt/ignite to the temporary mount point point
7. unmount the temporary mount point
8. mount the new lvol on /var/opt/ignite
Alternative method:
1. Back up the entire system
2. either add the unused drive to vg00, or createe a new vg for it
3. Create a lv on the new drive of the size you /var/opt/ignite to be
4. delete all of the information in /var/opt/ignite
5. permanantly mount the new lvol to /var/opt/ignite
6. restore the /var/opt/ignite info from tape

Re: need an advice with running out space and ignite server
I think adding unused drove to vg00 is a good thing to do without major changes to the system.
How do i do it? I am pretty sure i know how to do it...i've looked through SAM and understand how it works. I just want to make sure that what i'll do is correct. Can you please recommend me any documentation for this matter?
Thank you

SolutionCreate new vg on unused disk like vg01
create new logical volume.
create mount point as /var/opt/ignite.new
mount new logical volume onto it.
make sure that you are not running any ignite processes.
use tar command and redirect to destination.
or you can use cp command.
Once it is copied to new destination then remove /var/opt/ignite.
unmount /var/opt/ignite.new.
create /var/opt/ignite directory
mount new logical volume to /var/opt/ignite

Re: need an advice with running out space and ignite server
I did as IT_2007 suggested and it seemed to have worked. I will test how ignite works next week when i'll need to re-ignite server.
Thanks again!!!
