Partitionin Hard Disk on HPUX 9

[news groups]

What utility can I use to partition disks on HPUX 9.0??
Thanx in advance.

LVM is availiable at HP-UX 9.10 .

If the root disk is larger that 2 GB, LVM is required.

[Patrick Wessel]

With hp-ux 9.0 you are able to choose between hard sectioning and LVM. You are not allowed to mix mix it (either, or).
LVM would be my first choice, because it is much more flexible than hard sectioning

[Michael Lampi · Accepted solution]

If your HP-UX 9.x system is a workstation, then LVM and hard disk partitioning are not available.

In this case the only solution available is MDL Corporation's DSD driver. www.mdlcorp.com for more info.

There is a trick for partitionning on HP-UX 9 on workstations. Use SDS (software disk striping) from SAM, with only one disk. Be careful, when using SDS you cannot use manual commands such as mkfs - use only SAM.

Another idea would be to get HP-UX 10.20 ;-)
