Extending filesystem mounted at /stand

[Igor Sovin]

Hi!
I've got problem with installing QPK on my HP-UX 11iv2 because of insufficient disk space on filesystem mounted at /stand (/dev/vg00/lvol1).
I'm wondering, how to extend it?
any suggestions?

[Hasan Atasoy]

hi igor ;
it is not possible to extend /stand fs. you need to take make_tape_recovery with -I options and restore the system with large /stand. but under normal conditions /stand is enough . it is possible to share

du -sk /stand /*


with us.

Extending /stand is a very tricky procedure that needs MirrorDisk/UX to do this.

But since you are installing, why don't you make /stand bigger from the very beginning ? The Ignite installation interface allows you to specify other LV-sizes before the effective installation begins. You need to use the advance UI for this.
Als, make / big enough, because this one is als hard to extend later.

[Wim Rombauts]

Sorry, I only see now that you are only installing a QPK, not a full OS.

Well then, indeed you could create an ignite backup and re-ignite your system whil extending the /stand volume.

If you have MirorDisk/UX (or HP-UX Enterprise OE) you can follow a different procedure with less downtime. It is still lengthy, but I am willing to provide you some details if you confirm you have MirrorDisk available.

Guys, I have HP-UX installed already.
I need to install Quality Pack.
but swagent tells me that it is not enough free space in /stand, after the Analisys Phase.
Before that error occured I've installed another QPK and then removed it after reboot.
Since that reboot I've got problem with free space in /stand

need
du -sk /stand/*

without space.

I think that at least /stand/hpux_test can be removed.
it might be some unnecessary test kernel.

Hi!

Your best option is to use Ignite-UX in order to resize /stand.

Hi!

You could delete old kernel configurations:

To view the kernel backups:

kconfig -v

and to delete the desired old backup kernel:

kconfig -d

I think you can possibly remove 50312 /stand/hpux_test. hat directory is currently not present on my stsrems. (But be VERY CAREFULL about this).

My /stand is 512M and is used up for 55%, so maybe you need to increase /stand anyway.

[Hasan Atasoy]

you can free /stand by deleting /stand/hpux_test.
but be carefull.
