File Systems on HP-UX 10.20

[Yogeeraj]

Hello HP Experts,

I am currently working on a custom procedure on monitoring of our file systems on our K250 running HP-UX 10.20.

I need to know what are the file systems used the Operating System that grow in size during a normal operation (log files?)

Please help.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Ok, the normal essential file system on HPUX are "/stand, /opt, /var , /usr , /home , /tmp , / " .Out of these /stand,/opt/usr are most likely be the same FS use space provide there is no change in the Software/driver/additional patches etc.; eventhough the changes will be nominal.

"/opt" contains all the installed package / driver files etc so won't be a bid deal.

"/var" contains all the spooling info etc. and its quiet dynamic in nature so the files in it always grows - so need to be very careful.

"/home" will increase only if you guys tend to keep something inside own home directories.

"/stand" is static , as it contains only the kernel related stuff - so once booted the machine there won't be any change in the space used.

Hope this helps,
Cheers !!!

Hi,

Basically all filesystems that are contained
in the /dev/vg00 volume group are part of
the operating systems. I would suggest that
if you are writing a script to do the monitoring
that you monitor all of them. You don't know
when one of them my fill up accidently.
/var and /tmp are generally the filesystems
that get logfiles written to them, but as I've
suggested above any of the filesystems even
the stagnant ones can fill up.

below is something simple that can be improved upon very easily.

bdf -l | grep -v cdrom | grep 100% > /tmp/chkfsu.txt
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
elm -s "100% full file system in `hostname`" sysadmin,dbadmin < /tmp/chkfsu.txt
else echo
fi

bdf -l | grep -v cdrom | grep 99% > /tmp/chkfsu.txt
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
elm -s "99% full file system in `hostname`" sysadmin,dbadmin < /tmp/chkfsu.txt
else echo
fi
