How to create disk partiton

[Patrick Wallek]

You more than likely CAN NOT!

All space should be used for VG00 if the system was setup in a relatively standard way.

Still I'm wondering how to make another disk (partition) from the space left on that disk drive. Anyone?


You can't, because there is no free space.

About the layout:

- first partition is used for booting (EFI)
- second is used for hp-ux
- third is used as service partition (e.g. diag tools)

By default the 1. and 3. are around 500MB in size, all the rest is the 2. partition - so no free space to create another.

Well you got me doubting now about that. Is there a way to check that other than opening the workstation case?

[Torsten.]

What exactly do you want to check now?

[Chris2005]

I would like to check the (physical) storage capacity of my disk (like vendor information).

Just to be sure ... ;)

You have a 72GB disk drive, around 70GB is in use by LVM, so there is no space left.

Use "diskinfo" to check and calculate PE size * total PE from vgdisplay (see above).

You have "Free PE 2720" in the VG which can be used to create new lvs of extend existing LVs.
Your lvextend is failing because lvol3 needs to be contiguous and there is no space adjacent to lvol3 the lvextend fail.

There is no free space space on the disk which can be used to create a new partition but there is free space on the VG.
