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)

PVDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual PVDISPLAY(8)
NAME
pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group
descriptor area and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps (1).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-c, --colon
Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs. N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more control over the
output.
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
-s, --short
Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
-m, --maps
Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.
