Ask concept soft partition vs hard partition
Hi Experts
I would like to know different between soft partition concept and hard partition concept on solaris.
Here is little explanation between soft partition concept and hard partition concept on solaris.
Soft Partition:
1TB total space available in storage in all mapped to the OS to be configured to each partition so that each partition of the file system is set by the OS (control and manage partitions is done by the OS)
Hard Partition:
1TB total space available in storage is divided into multiple partitions to be configured for each file system in the OS, the division is done at the level of storage, so as not to burden the performance of the OS (control and managed by storage).
Which one the best configuration for solaris system? On this storage running SAP system.
Really appreciate for every comments.
Thanks
Edy

Hi,
I need to extend a soft partition from 20G to 100G. New disk is already added as a meta device. This soft partition is already assigned to a guest LDOM. Can someone let me know the steps to increase soft partition so guest LDOM can recognize the new space.
