How to increase the space of / filesystem

[Jagadesh]

Iam using HP-UX 10.20
/ file system is located in /dev/vg00/lvol3.
I need to add some 500MB of free space to the / filesystem. How can i go about in doing the same. Is it possible first?.

Thanks

Hi, the better way is to make a recovery tape.....there is another solution but is not raccomanded, and you can use only if have got a mirror disk.
You must unmirror lvo3 ( / ) from second disk and unmirror lvol4 from first, In this way you have a necessary continuos space to extend / lvol on first disk.
After this you must remirror lvol4 from second to first, and demirror lvol4 from second.
Now you can mirror lvol3 ( / ) from first to second and lvol4 from first to second.
You have increase the size of root lv.
I use thi metod 2 time.......all OK

Hi,

It is possible by Ignite-UX utilities.
You try to good procedure on doc VIKBRC00010528 - Sys Adm: Using Ignite-UX to extend /stand or / filesystem?

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

Perhaps the easiest solution would be to create a new lvol. Why do you need this space in '/' ?
