To install patch

[laura kanth]

Hi
I'm trying to install QPK1100 as you all know that is for HPUX 11.00.The problem is when i install this patch ,the installtion failed due to less space in /usr.needs 58 k in /usr.I checked for core files in /usr and large files in /usr .There is no core files and no large files.Shall i move /usr/share,/usr/sam,/usr/conf to some other place ,and after installing patch can i replace it?.Will it work?Please help.
Thanks

Do you have the ability to increase the size of /usr, because you really don't want to move anything out of /usr.

Do a vgdisplay -v vg00 and look for the free PE's. Then if you have have OnlineJFS do:
lvextend ???L 770 /dev/vg00/lvol7
fsadm ???F vxfs ???b 770M /usr

Without OnlineJFS:
VI) How to reduce the size of a logical volume without online JFS (advanced JFS)
Note: the following example is using the volume group vg01 and the
logical volume lvhome
1) Backup all user data
2) Umount the filesystem
umount /home
3) Reduce the size
lvreduce -L 60 /dev/vg01/lvhome

Hi,

Try allocating more space to /usr instead of moving something. Do you have free space on the disk/vg ?

Check whether you are storing any unwanted files in /usr ? Check for big files in /usr:

# cd /usr
# du -k | sort -rn | pg

OR

# find . -xdev -size +10000 -exec ll {} \; > /tmp/bigfiles

Hi Laura,

I think you should look into increasing the size of /usr rather than moving directories out of /usr. Most of the directories/ files under /usr are system related and may create a problem. Look at the vgdisplay for vg00 and see if you availavble pe extents. If you do, try to increase the size of /usr. That would be the general recommendation.

Hope this helps.

How about adding a disk to vg00. You really don't want to move anything out of /usr.

III) How to add a disk to a Volume Group
Note The following examples is using the disk c1t6d0 and the volume
group vg01

1) Prepare the disk
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0

Note if the disk was previously used in another VG use the
following command instead:

pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0

Note: Use caution when using pvcreate -f as this will
overwrite the existing volume group information on the disk.

2) Add the disk to the Volume Group
vgextend /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c1t6d0

Hi

I agree with the thepry of do not move anything but sometimes you have no choice.

Of preference extend /usr


else move /usr/share/man and /usr/share/doc
to somewhere else

use soft link
ln -s new_dir old_dir

Move them back afterwards
