Micro partition, LPAR, don't have that option, no problem, we are talking Alt disk here.
Of course you can, that is half the point (the other being the backup thing).
alt_rootvg_op
Purpose
Performs operations on existing alternate rootvg volume groups.
These power 4 and 5 HMC'd junkies are starting to annoy me now... you don't need a 10k box to doo half the stuff you people think you need to create an lpar / micro partition for.
Alt disk install your new instance on a spare disk and customise / add fixes - software with the alt_rootvg_op command. Of course you will need to actually boot it to test if it all worked - best done at the weekend for the user satisfaction, oh, and the overtime ;-)

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)

bootcd2disk
BOOTCD2DISK(1) bootcd utils BOOTCD2DISK(1)
NAME
bootcd2disk - copy a system running from bootcd to a disk
SYNOPSIS
bootcd2disk [-i] [-s] [-c <config directory>] [-url <url>]
DESCRIPTION
With bootcd2disk a CD build with bootcdwrite can be copied to one or more Disk Partitions from the running cd-based system. Therefore
bootcd could be used to make rescue disks.
It is also possible to let bootcd2disk automatically find a disk, make partitions on it, copy the cd to the disk and make the disk
bootable. bootcd2disk will be available as soon as your system is running from cd.
OPTIONS
-i With this option the complete bootcd2disk runs in interactive mode and you can run each function manually. This option is useful for
debugging.
-v The option "-v" (verbose) adds messages on running.
-s This option can be used to disable interactive questions and to try to ignore errors.
-c <config directory>
The configuration directory which normally is "/etc/bootcd" can be changed with this.
-url <url>
If bootcd2disk is slow on your system (because of a slow CD/DVD drive or the HP ILO virtual CD interface), you can use an image server
to get the image from. bootcd2disk use the SWAP partition of your upcoming system as temporary space and copy the image from the con-
figured image server to this partition and use it as image. The image server url is configured with this option.
example install from imagesserver:
bootcd2disk -url http://192.168.1.1/cdimage.iso
Another way the increase the performance is the use of the mounted CD/DVD itself for the copy. The option "-url" is the same, the url
starts with "file:///"
example install from CD/DVD drive sdc0:
bootcd2disk -url file:///dev/sdc0
The swap partition of the upcoming system must have enough space to get the whole image!
Currently no other options can be specified on command line. All other configuration has to be done in the config files.
