Hello, David.

First, check /tmp. There is a chance that this temporary directory has a lot of trash that can be safely deleted.

Best regards,
Horia.

/tmp is usually a different LVOL.

However, check / for large files and wrongly placed directories and misspelled tape backups.

[DAVID99_1]

hi Horica ,

can u please provide a steps

[Horia Chirculescu · Accepted solution]

You can print a list of large files (over 10M) using space on / like this:

cd /
find / ! -local -xdev -o -size +10000000c -exec ls -la {} \;

You can play with the size in order to find out files over some imposed limit

If those files are unecessary, you could delete/move them to another LVOL.

-xdev would limit the search to /, ignoring mountpoints.

[Horia Chirculescu]

The command:

du --total -x /

would list totals of each subdirecories residing on the same LVOL as /

Like this you can find out the biggest directories from /

Best regards
Horia.

[Horia Chirculescu]

Seems to me that for some reason c2t0d0 is not anymore on lvmtab.

Did you do a vgreduce to remove the disk from the corresponding vg00?

You could do something like this:

vgreduce -f vg00
mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
vgscan -v

Best regards
Horia.

[Bijeesh]

hi,
Core files are created by abnormal termination of ordinary programs.

For your vg related problem,please post the output of the following.
#lvlnboot -v
#strings /etc/lvmtab
#pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
#lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol1 | head -n 20
All of your LVs are in stale status.Did you make any changes in your LVM..??
Do you have latest ignite backup with you..??

[DAVID99_1]

Dear Experts ,
now i am out of location.i will submitt the required output later.

bye

> du --total -x /

There is no such option in HP-UX. To get the directory usage, use sort:

du / -kx | sort -rn | head -20

You look in the largest directories for big files:

ll /etc | sort -rnk5 | head -20

To find any core files, use:

find / -xdev -name core -exec ll -d {} \;

Before removing the core file, use the file command to determine the process name that created the core file.

file /somedir/core

Hi David,

From the above vgdisplay output, there might be something wrong with your system. Post an "ioscan -fn" output to see what devices you have.

Regards,
Viktor

[DAVID99_1]

Dear All experts ,

[Horia Chirculescu]

Hello David.

There is a step by step document related to bad disk problems. Please read:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad_WP.pdf

It is possible that your disk is a defctive one. In this case you will need another disk. For recovery, you need to take the steps from the above document.

Best regards,
Horia.

[Horia Chirculescu]

Bill Hassel pointed out that:

>> du --total -x /

>There is no such option in HP-UX

He is right. The option he is talking about is of course "--total".

du that I use is part of a package called GNU coreutils and has this option I was originally taked of.

GNU coreutils offer some more options which will make sysadmin's (at least one that was used before with Linux and some other UNIX-es) life a little easyer.

coreutils can be installed toghether with the orignial HP-UX utilities (du, df/etc...).


best regards,
Horia.

>Bill: du / -kx | sort -rn | head -20

it is better syntax;

# du -kx / | sort -rn | head -20

>Bill: du / -kx | sort -rn | head -20

Yes, my keyboard became confused...
