I use 50 gigs disks, but i also put oracle's home, and other software on vg00:

Shalom,

A few hundred meg or the install recommended minimum is fine. Nothing but drivers and configuration files belong on root anyway.

That being said, I go for 1 GB so if someone accidentally dumps a cd to root the system doesn't halt.

Re: Root disk size for HP-UX 11iv2 VM IA64

Bonjour,

I am used to work with a size of 50 Go for system disk, when clients have sufficient storage capacity and refuse to fall underneath 35 Go in other cases.

In all situations I dedicate vg00 for the only use of HP-UX

Alan,

I suggest you refer to the table here:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-1978/ch02s02.html#d0e1489

I generally work on 25GB + Swap for vg00 on a VM.
