ICurrent disk 148GB with a file system of 148GBs.
Need to change disk to be 300GBs and file system to reflect 300GBs.
Ask your SAN admin to present another 300GB LUN and copy the contents of the 148GB LUN with cpio. Then you can give the 148GB LUN back to the SAN Admin.
Here's the cpio command (from the man page) I have used in the past to move large amounts of files/data from one location to another:

I want to resize my filesystem partitions. Reason is that I have 11GB of disk space unused by Unix which divvy reveals. Is there a way I could resize my filesystems without doing a reinstallation. The secondary problem is that the boot image is too large for a diskette (5MB).

Dear Friends,
I would like to know if there is any chance to expand a Volume Group, If this VG have a mirror.
If there is any chance to do this what would be the safer way to avoid lost any data.

Hi
First post :o
I have recently used Acronis (Backup software for data backup and disaster recovery in Windows and Linux - Acronis) to create identical systems that I need to build.
Everything works OK, but one of the machine has a bigger harddisk (250G) than the one I used to create the... (2 Replies)
Is there a way to take space from the /opt slice (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5) and then put it in the /var (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1)? In theory, I should be able to ufsdump /opt and /var to another drive. Use disk label to resize those two slices (ex. take 10G from opt and add to /var) and then newfs and dump back... (1 Reply)
Hello,
I'm new to HP-UX and I'm not sure about some concepts related to resizing fs's under this OS.
First of all I'm only asking about resizing ONLINE, it means, without having to umount the fs nor rebooting, etc.
Q1. I've read that in order to resize a fs online there are 2 requirements:... (3 Replies)

disklabel
disklabel(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual disklabel(4)NAME
disklabel - Disk pack label
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Each disk or disk pack on a system may contain a disk label which provides detailed information about the geometry of the disk and the par-
titions into which the disk is divided. It should be initialized when the disk is formatted, and may be changed later with the disklabel
program. This information is used by the system disk driver and by the bootstrap program to determine how to program the drive and where
to find the file systems on the disk partitions. Additional information is used by the file system in order to use the disk most effi-
ciently and to locate important file system information. The description of each partition contains an identifier for the partition type
(standard file system, swap area, etc.). The file system updates the in-core copy of the label if it contains incomplete information about
the file system.
The label is located in sector number LABELSECTOR of the drive, usually sector 0 (zero) where it may be found without any information about
the disk geometry. It is at an offset LABELOFFSET from the beginning of the sector, to allow room for the initial bootstrap. The disk
sector containing the label is normally made read-only so that it is not accidentally overwritten by pack-to-pack copies or swap opera-
tions; the DIOCWLABEL ioctl, which is done as needed by the disklabel program, allows modification of the label sector.
A copy of the in-core label for a disk can be obtained with the DIOCGDINFO ioctl; this works with a file descriptor for a block or charac-
ter (raw) device for any partition of the disk. The in-core copy of the label is set by the DIOCSDINFO ioctl. The offset of a partition
cannot generally be changed, nor made smaller while it is open. One exception is that any change is allowed if no label was found on the
disk, and the driver was able to construct only a skeletal label without partition information. Finally, the DIOCWDINFO ioctl operation
sets the in-core label and then updates the on-disk label; there must be an existing label on the disk for this operation to succeed.
Thus, the initial label for a disk or disk pack must be installed by writing to the raw disk. All of these operations are normally done
using the disklabel program.
