Disk Management

Hi,

partitions are not allowed to overlap, so really only h: is unused. Can yu redo the installation? This would be the easiest thing. Also install the rest of the licenses for that machine and post the new lmf list. Ther may be a chance, that you can add dsk3 with lsmsa to the volume of usr and then use mount -o extend to increase the size. I have no chance to try that however.

Thats the only way? I might consider that.

Ralf,

could you please shed some thoughts on whether I am giving the right advice?

Ralf doesnt like me :(

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Paul,

do you know Ralf in person? ;-)
I think, he is rather frustrated, that his good advice for people to first do some research and then post goes unheard. ;-)

I don't this, he has anything against you personally.

I am just kidding around.. I know he always tells me to read before I post. I am going to redo the machine and reference all the postings that you guys have helped me with. I hope that there is a way to search postings by author?

Mike is it possible to create another filesystem say /usr with a new disk

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hi,

if you consider redoing the machine and you have a little time, try the dxlsm and extend the volume on partition h:
The disk isn't big either. If you can, replace them by at least 9.1gb or add another pair, so you can put /usr on its own disk.

yeah man, go for it!! ;-)

Hi,

it might be possible, try this:
mkfdmn -x 1024 /dev/dsk/dsk3h usr1
mkfset usr1 usr
mount usr1#usr /mnt
vdump -f - -D /usr | vrestore -xf - -D /mnt
umount /mnt
cd /etc/fdmns
mv usr_domain usrx
mv usr1 usr_domain
reboot
if any error occur before the cd, con't continue.

good luck,

Michael

I am doing the install now...Do you advise using lsm with custom layout?
