resize / and / stand at the lvm

[Goriik]

Hi, guys. Someone of you had to deal with resize / and / stand at the lvm? Write how to do it. From what regime? Can I do it online? If so, it would be very helpful step by step instructions. Forum I have looked through the whole, but still remains not clear. I do not want recovery from Ignite, because I have not Ignite server. So I have left a way to pvmove. It is necessary to move volume to another disk. Someone had the experience? Waiting for your answers. Very need your help.

The best solution is Ignite.

Why you need more space there???

No, you can't do it online. The file systems have to be unmounted in order to extend them. That can not be done on a running system.

The only safe way to do this is with Ignite. Create a make_tape_recovery archive, then boot from it and you will be able to re-allocate all your root file systems, just like when you installed for the first time.

HI,

If you just want to extend you / and /stand, then it would be possible.

check the following things:

#swlist -l product|grep -i jfs

#swlist -l bundle|grep -i online

if these software installed in your system, then you can extend your filesystem through online by using steps as useual:

1) lvextend -L /dev/vgname/lvname /dev/dsk/cxtxdx


2)fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgname/rlvname

A simple lvextend will not work, because both LVOLs must be contiguous!

This is the reason why ignite is recommended.

Which version of HP-UX do you have?
If it is 11.23 or 1.31, make sure you have DRD installed, and then get the White Paper from the documents web site:
