u hav to unmount and extend file system also
umount /temp
extends -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlol4
check if online JFS is available
swlist | grep -i online
if onlineJFS is there u can do it by fsadm
fsadm -F vxfs -b newsize /temp

Cheers,
Awadhesh

Hi,

you need to extend the filesystem standing on the logical volume:

umount /temp
(or /tmp?)

extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4

mount /temp

If you have OnLineJFS you can do that without umount/mount:

fsadm -F vxfs -b 200M /temp

HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio

Another thing do I need to go to single user mode?

To go into single user mode, use the command:

shutdown -r 0

then carefully watch the reboot steps from the console. When the messages indicate you can interrupt the boot process within 10 seconds, press the Enter key on the console keyboard. Then say yes to booting from the primary disk and yes to interact with the boot loader. At the prompt, type the command:

hpux -is

and it will bootup to single user mode. Just type the command:

extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol4

then run the commands:

mount /usr
mount /tmp
bdf /tmp

and you'll see the new size. The reason that lvextend does not complete the task is that LVM commands change the size of the disk but have nothing to do with filesystems.

Thanks all for helping me. The command have to be done in single user mode.
