    Alright Lads Techie Questions: VG's LV's hp/ux

    Afternoon All,

    does anybody have a Milan Benes level idiots guide to
    getting started with HP/UX Volume Groups and Logical Volumes
    and disk space ?

    I need to rapidly learn how to:

    check available disk space bdf .
    check which volume group, which logical volume
    check how many extents (?) are available
    calculate how much disk I need
    extend the logical volume

    and everything must work afterwards

    anybody got any idiots guides to getting started in this stuff ?

    Thanks,

    Milan.

      thanks Paddy, the man pages

      they're about as much use a bog paper for what I need to do

      a quick guide with examples would be nice

        check available disk space bdf .
        -df -k
        check which volume group, which logical volume
        -lsvg -L
        check how many extents (?) are available
        -lsvg -l volumegroupname
        calculate how much disk I need
        -use calculator
        extend the logical volume
        chfs -a size=+<blocks> /<FS>

        sorted

              unfortunately this question is a product of having to work in a consolidated infrastructure environment

              purleeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee

              throw away these damn superdomes and bring back separate hosts for each
              system with their own disks

              forever there are conflicts between activities required on systems on the same hosts and forever there are disk space issues

              oh well pays the bills dunnit

              contracting, every little helps

              Andy, can you expand on the second question I gave, an example of the disk space extents calculation

              thanks,

              Milan.

                  example
                  To change the file system size of the /test File System, enter:

                  chfs -a size=+24576 /test

                  where 24576 blocks = 12MB
                  (512 bytes is the standard block size in AIX)
