Adjusting File System Sizes
The absolute minimum /usr file-system sizes needed to update to
HP-UX 11i are listed in "Updating requirements" in Chapter 1. If the
required file-system size for the bundle you copy to a depot exceeds the
file system limit set by your disk installation, you will get an error
condition during the copy process. You can use lvextend and extendfs in
this situation to create a larger file system.
You might have a problem updating your system(s) if any of these
volumes are too small: /usr, /opt, /stand or /var. See "Updating
requirements" in Chapter 1.
If you try an update, swinstall will determine how much disk space is
required. If sufficient space is not available, swinstall will report an error
like this:
ERROR: The used disk space on filesystem "/var" is estimated
to increase by 57977 Kbytes.
This operation will exceed the minimum free space for this
volume. You should free up at least 10854 Kbytes to avoid
installing beyond this threshold of available user disk space.
In this example, you would need to increase the file system size of /var
by 10 MB, which actually needs to be rounded up to 12 MB.
Follow these steps to increase the size limit of /var:
/sbin/vgdisplay /dev/vg00
You should see output like this:
