Cloned Rootvg
New Question:
The purpose of an alternate disk install is in my opinion to have a ready-to-use-backup and i've read that it is possible to install filesets or software on the cloned disk for testing purposal while the normal system is still running.
The question is: how do you tell AIX (5.2 ML9) to install filesets NOT on the normal rootvg but on the cloned rootvg? And how can you test it?? (off course all this without rebooting...)
thanks!

I want to increase the size of /tmp by 1GB
I know that the command is
chfs -a size=+1G /tmp
But the rootvg is mirrored and when I do a lsvg -p rootvg, I could see 2 disks.
Will there be any impact if I increase the size of /tmp when the rootvg is mirrored ?
Please advise. (1 Reply)

advfs_get_fset_list
advfs_get_fset_list(3) Library Functions Manual advfs_get_fset_list(3)
NAME
advfs_get_fset_list - Obtain a list of all the filesets in an AdvFS file domain
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/advfs_syscalls.h>
int advfs_get_fset_list(
char domain,
unsigned long arraySize,
unsigned long *offset,
unsigned long *numFilesets,
filesetInfoT filesetInfo[] );
LIBRARY
AdvFS Library (libadvfs)
PARAMETERS
The name of the AdvFS file domain to be searched for filesets. Contains the number of filesetInfoT cells that have been malloced for the
filesetInfo array. A pointer for the next iteration of the function: the starting location for the next set of filesets. The total num-
ber of filesets in the specified file domain. The array of fileset information structures that is filled in on successful return from this
function.
DESCRIPTION
Use this function to obtain information about the filesets in an AdvFS file domain. Information about both mounted and unmounted filesets
is returned. The function returns the information in the "filesetInfo[]" array.
For an example of programming the advfs_get_fset_list function, see [reference to be provided].
NOTES
Compaq recommends that the application malloc an array large enough to gather all fileset information in a single call to the function.
The function can skip filesets or return them multiple times if the function is using the offset parameter while another user creates or
removes filesets in between the calls that this user makes to the function.
This function can take a very long time to complete when it is called to execute on a file domain with a large number of unmounted file-
sets.
RETURN VALUES
The function returns a value of 0 (zero) on successful completion. The function returns a value of -1 on failure and sets the value of
errno to the specific error.
ERRORS
The calling program is not running with root privileges. An I/O error occurred on one of the disks in the file domain. The file domain
specified by the domain parameter does not exist. There is not enough memory available for the operation
