increase size of root(/) volume 1

[freder]

Does anyone know how to increase the root volume size on HP-UX 11.11 ? I want to increase it because it's at 98%

I've tried from single user mode but it keeps returning message that's it's being used by another process.

You have to do it from lvm command mode.
These are the step to increase /stand It will be true for / too.

Considering you have
Size of /dev/vg00/lvol1 is A (boot or /stand or /dev/vg00/lvol1)

Size of /dev/vg00/lvol2 is B (swap or /dev/vg00/lvol2)

You wanna increase size of lvol1 from A to A+X (where X is not more than B - "physical memory installed in your machine&quot

Basically we have to decrease size of swap to increase boot as they are contigous.

Now Extending /stand is an easy job which can be performed in 10-15 minutes.


01. Boot your machine in LVM maintenance mode
(hpux -lm at ISL>)

#rm /etc/mnttab
#vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
#lvrmboot -r /dev/vg00
#lvremove /dev/vg00/lvol2
#lvextend -L "A+X" /dev/vg00/lvol1
#extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol1
#lvcreate -L "B-(X+10)" -C y -r n -n lvol2 /dev/vg00
#lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
#lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
#lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
#lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
#reboot -r
