Hi

you need to be in single user mode to extend /tmp...

Firstly check how much space you have in the root volume group with #vgdisplay -v vg00 | grep PE, look for the number of free PE and multiply by PE size to give the total number of free space.
make a note of the logical volume that is mounted on /tmp with #bdf /tmp

reboot, your server and when propted to interrupt during ten seconds, do so.
At the boot prompt type
>boot pri

The system should ask then if you want to interact with ISL. Type
>y

At the ISL prompt, type
>hpux -is

This will take you into single user

Extend the /tmp logical volume
# lvextend -L <new size in MB> /dev/vg00/lvolXX (where lvolXX is logical volume noted earlier)

Extend the filesystem associated with tmp. You need to use the raw device here:
# extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvolXX

reboot and leave machine to come back up itself into multiuser.

Hi,

I only want to add that if you have online JFS you can extend the file system online. Have you got it?

Best regards.

I have a problem on the hp9000 11.0

When the system boots up, several file systems do not mount.
I get the following error.

mount - Cannot open /dev/vg01/ifas: No such device or address

When I do an 'ls -lt' for /dev/vg01/ifas, it shows up OK and displays the folowing....

brw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x010001 jan 24 14:03 /dev/vg01/ifas

Any ideas out there???

Thanks.

I followed unixqueen's instructions and after reboot a vgdisplay shows that lvol4 is the desired size (88M) but a df -k shows that /tmp still only has 61M total allocated. /tmp is the only filesystem on /dev/vg00/lvol4.

Did you remember to run the extendfs command?

Also, a note of caution: be sure /tmp's ownership is bin:bin and its permissions are 777 so everyone can write to that filesystem.

Don't for get... I think
/tmp also has to be an cont. file system...
Like root and others...

OK, so I forgot the extendfs. It worked. Thanks all.
