SolutionYou apparently don't have OnlineJFS. That's a real deficiency in my opinion.
That said, yes, you need to unmount '/opt' to extend it. The easiest way to achieve this is to *boot into* single user mode; extend the filesystem and then bring the system to run-level-3.
The SD tools ('swinstall', etc.) are dependent upon networking which you don't have in single user mode.
However, you could declare a downtime of appropriate length; boot into single-user mode; extend your filesystem; use 'init' to move to run-level-3; perform your 'swinstall' and then after its required reboot, resume normal operations.
Regards!

Re: single interrupt for upgrades.
Else you have to have 2 reboots, the time saving idea by JRF is pretty cool, instead of reboots just switch the run level which is much faster:)

Re: single interrupt for upgrades.
You may try the following.
You might be running your system on runlevel 3 or more.
Bring the system into single user mode
# init s or S
activate vg00 if not activated by
vgchange -a y vg00
Extend /opt
# lvextend ....
# extendfs ....
then bring your system into runlevel 2
# init 2
preview your patches
# swinstall -p -x (if you want to use some options) -s (source of the patches) and patch selection
Install the patches
# swinstall ....
if you want to reboot after patching you can use -x autoreboot=true option.
By this way you only need to interrupt your system only once.
Hope it helps, and if so, please rate the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhat

Re: single interrupt for upgrades.
You simply don't start your applications until you are done with all of your changes.
You don't mention what HP-UX version and whether you can use DRD.

Re: single interrupt for upgrades.
That's not what the documentation says. It says it will not install if it needs to reboot:
Prevents the installation of software requiring a reboot

Re: single interrupt for upgrades.
So , there is no way to install patch and deferred reboot ? once patch that required reboot is installed server must be rebooted , OK ?
