/tmp directory extension help needed!!!!

[Horia Chirculescu]

Oracle (both database and application) have scripts to start/stop the instance and the application. First you must stop the oracle application and then the instance (database).

Find out the scripts -those are usually called by some special user - one for application, another for instance.

Then su as those user(s)

su -

then run the stop script

The same for oracle application

How to kill the remaining processes?

[Pete Randall]

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

How about just cleaning the junk out /tmp? Using "rm -rf" is appropriate but maybe overkill. You might want to look at what is in there to start with, but /tmp is just that: a repository for temporary files for which no retention is required. If someone is misusing /tmp for other purposes, this will be a great way to find out.

The fullest /tmp I have is about 50MB so you've obviously got some crap in there.

I know but I need 3 GB space in /tmp bec I need to install oracle 11g and I put this source in /tmp.
Is there any possibility and I can create /tmp in anyother location then after installtion switch to current one ???

This I did in Tru64 Unix:
#mkfset usr_domain#tmp /tmp
#mount usr_domain#tmp /tmp
change is entry in /etc/fstab

Is there something like this in HP Ux

>Is there any possibility and I can create /tmp in any other location then after installation switch to current one?

You can create a directory under /tmp and mount on top of that and if you can get Oracle to use that path it would work.

>Horia: A lot of daemons have sockets that are located on /tmp.

Right:
# lsof /tmp
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
hp_unixag 1212 root 1r DIR 64,0x3 40960 12 /tmp
ipv6agt 1223 root 1r DIR 64,0x3 40960 12 /tmp
mib2agt 1233 root 1r DIR 64,0x3 40960 12 /tmp
trapdesta 1253 root 2r DIR 64,0x3 40960 12 /tmp

Hello Horia,

I followed the steps as u told me and I am on >HPUX prompt (see attached file). Now when I issue "bo pri" command there is no found message arise. Will you guide me ?

Hello, Zishan

Did you managed to get into single user mode?

You must enter single user mode in order to be able to extend the logical volume.

Hello Horia,

I issued "init s" command to enter into single user mode then then killed the processes. Then I issued "shutdown -r" command and press key to enter into "HPUX>" prompt.
Pls tell me now what to do or did i make any mistake?

[Horia Chirculescu]

It is ok.

Then issue a:

HPUX> boot -is

And you will enter into single mode. After logging, enter the command from the above post.

Horia.

>where I can mount? I have lot of space in /u01

Ah, you can just create a symlink instead of that directory.

And if Oracle honors TMPDIR, you can just point it to /u01/somewhere.
