which filesystem needs more space?
Do u have online JFS installed so this can be done online?

If it is part of vg00, then you have to perform the following activities:
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/
vgextend -n vg00 /dev/dsk/
Here You can create a new lvol and extend the fs to that lvol or you can use lvextend to extend the lvol and then extend the fs.

however there are some root lvols which can not be increased like /stand and /

If it is /var then u can try the above mentioned procedure..

Hi

Untill you tell us your requirement exactly like which file system and in which vg it would be difficult to answer your query.

Dear Sir,

1.Send vgdisplay -v output.

2.If it is root vg take ignite backup and resize accordingly.

3.If it other than root extend the VG and lvextend and eatendfs accordingly

hi all
my filesystem is in the vg00
and i want to Increasing the file system from onther harddrive . i mean split the filesystem to the two hard

Hi

If you want to increase the file systems in vg00 you have to take an ignite backup of your system and boot the system with the ignite tape, there you have an option of resizing your file system, beware if you need to increase the file system you should have free PE in the PV.
But you said you have only 36GB HDD.

Though you extend your vg00 to the second HDD, I really doubt how the system is going to behave (I havent checked myself). If it is a prodcution box recommend to have bigger HDD.

I am curious to know the below
To have a / , /usr, /var, /opt in vg00 36 GB of space is more than enough. What is it filling the vg00

can you sne the bdf & vgdispaly o/ps.

As I mentioned earlier.. You can increase all the filesystems except / (root)..

So for increaseing this you have to take ignite backup and resotre it and while restoring the change the size of the filesystems..

However filesystem sizes for /etc, /var, /home etc can be increaase w/o reinstalling/ igniting the box..

i see that i must reinstall os and resize the file system

thank for all
