Removing unwanted filesets - reason is space needed

[Adrian Sobers2]

Another question...Once I install the ignite-ux
how do I go about making a full (??) system backup to tape using ignite?

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Not quite
it is just by typing model...
example of output:
9000/800/K260

...
How is your ignite installation going on?

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Put a tape int the device and type:
make_recovery -Av


And just watch whats going on...

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

The output from model is:
9000/821/D350

I also have a disk space problem when trying to install Ignite. I need to free about 65MB on /opt to install Ignite. Almost back to square one?

Should we therefore go ahead with the extending of the vg00?

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

Hi Adrian

There is a logical volume inside VG00 which looks like it is not used anymore (lvol9), to be shure mount the lvol on a temp mount point.

# cd /
# mkdir /tmp_mount
# mount /dev/vg00/lvol9 /tmp_mount
# cd /tmp_mount
# ls -la
# bdf .

Check if you can remove this space, if yes unmount it and lvremove the lvol9 volume.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Ok,
Have you removed the unwanted logical volume?
this is what you should do first, then do a fuser -cu /opt and see what is using /opt
connect youself as root and stay in /
and so fuser -kcu /opt, are you still alive?
now try to unmount /opt:
umount /opt
if success mount it again:
mount /opt
and with sam extend the /opt logical volume (/dev/vg00/lvol6) fix its new size to 650 MB

Ill wait till you have done these manips...
Good luck
Victor

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

I've removed lvol9 which was unused and nothing was mounted on it.

What do I do next? I tried to do the:

unmount /opt like you said. Here is my effort:

root:INLAND3>pwd
/
root:INLAND3>fuser -kcu /opt
/opt: 1574mto(root) 1431mt(root)

root:INLAND3>unmount /opt
sh: unmount: not found.
root:INLAND3>unmount /opt
sh: unmount: not found.
root:INLAND3>

What next?

[Adrian Sobers2]

oops! LOL

root:INLAND3>umount /opt
umount: cannot unmount /opt : Device busy
root:INLAND3>

What next?

[Victor BERRIDGE]

the command is umount (no n)...
Try again!


waiting...
Victor

[Adrian Sobers2]

root:INLAND3>fuser -kcu /opt
/opt:

root:INLAND3>umount /opt
umount: cannot unmount /opt : Device busy
root:INLAND3>

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

Hi,

Try
# cd /
# umount /opt
# lvextend -L XXX /dev/vg00/lvolx
# extendfs -F vxfs/hfs /dev/vg00/rlvolx

change the size and the filesystem type in above commands.

Regards,
Robert-Jan

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Sorry,
I just realised you had all the /opt/oracles...
You will have to stop oracle, kill everything that is going to bother =>
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
do
fuser -ku /opt/oracle$i
umount /opt/oracle$i
done

Next
try again to umount /opt and mount it again
the idea is if you can do it so can SAM...


good luck

[Adrian Sobers2]

that is where I'm at now

waiting...i have 10 more mins to try now then lunch

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Good point Robert,
Adrian what do you have in /etc/default/fs, e.g.
$ more /etc/default/fs
LOCAL=vxfs
fs: END

This gives us the type of filesystem you have by default

Robert, my aim was to let Adrian use sam toextend to 650 MB with sam in order to install ignite, THEN do as you suggets the same manip by hand because Adrian will not have the choice with /var what do you think?

[Victor BERRIDGE]

do a bdf again and tell us what you see

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Dont forget (I did...) you have also an /opt/oracle

What do you have in /etc/fstab ?

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

LOCAL=vxfs
fs: END

is my output

BFD output is attached


....still waiting...lunch will wait...

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

/etc/fstab gives:

[Victor BERRIDGE]

its /opt/oracle that is blocking you
try to umount /opt/oracle if it refuses than fuser -ku /opt/oracle then umount /opt/oracle

Now things should work...

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

Here is what I just did:

1) umount /opt/oracle
2) umount /opt
3) ran SAM and extented to 652MB (it complained that needed to be multiples of 4)
4) mount /opt/oracle
5) mount /opt

I did bdf and attached is output. What do I do next? Where is all the other /opt/oracle1/2 etc...I have re mount them also right?

...waiting...but getting hungry...

[Adrian Sobers2]

mounted all the other oracles, bdf output is attached.

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Well done

Hungry now?
I suppose you have a disk subsystem attached to you D350 (Dont think it can hold so much disks...)

Ive noticed by your fstab that although your default is vxfs you had some hfs configured (cant extend etc...) so I would suggets we scratch the lot and build up a clean system
You will learn a lot and become an appointed HP Sysadmin in no time...
What so you think?
I can now go ahead with you ignite install...
Im hungry also now... time to leave
Will join back from home if you wish (was a bit late last evening...)
I dont know what time it is for you...
If you wish to stop here or work after lunch (which?) and Im going towards 19:00

If you want to continue after I will connect from home
All the best
Victor

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

thanks! I mounted the remaining oracles..1,2 etc and had to bring back up Oracle test DB cause developer wanted to use machine.

I will now install Ignite UX and then come back and situation again here ok? I'm going to lunch now 1PM here EST.

Located in Barbados, Eastern Caribbean ;)

[Adrian Sobers2]

Victor,

About building filesystem up from scratch. We have some data on this machine that we need so I don't know how that will affect us if we go that route. Or do I just install ignite back up current config to tape and move from there?

Well one thing at a time. Trying Ignite install again...will report back

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Fine that means in about one-two hours time we can continue step by step then
That leaves me the time to go home put the kids to bed have something to eat and and connected!
Does that suit you?
