I'm looking for a way to upgrade disks containing my rootvg volume group on the fly without a reboot.
Currently, rootvg contains 2x74gb drives in RAID 10. What I want to do is swap them out one-by-one with 146gb drives then expand the volume group. I've done this with a test system before, and the new drives are recognized as being the larger capacity but I can't extend the volume group to the extra size. lsvg rootvg still shows the vg as being 74gb.
I've tried simply using 'chvg -g rootvg', but I get the following error...
I can't seem to find a way to extend the actual RAID volume past the original 74gb.

Hi everyone, I am sort of new to shell scripting,
I have a bunch of files that begin with 'blah' and I want to rename those files with something different (renamedFile1, renamedFile2, renamedFileN). I don't want to go through each file and rename them with the mv command. Could I just use a for... (4 Replies)
I want to move and compress a big export file.
Like mv file_exp /filesystem/file_exp |compress
The file system is too small to compress and move with 2 steps.
What is the best command for me. I'm running solaris.

Hi,
We use an application that is dumping logs to a file on disk. However, this is dumping very verbosely and there is no method of turning down the logging level. We need to remove certain contents from these before they are commited to disk.
Has anybody got any ideas how I can do this... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I have an old HPUX 10.20 server running Informix 7.23
I need to dump the database to get it off that hardware before it dies.
Unfortunately there is insufficient local diskspace to do so.
I have set up a linux box with sufficient disk onto which I can export the database.

vgreduce
VGREDUCE(8) System Manager's Manual VGREDUCE(8)NAME
vgreduce - reduce a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgreduce [-a|--all] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--removemissing] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [Physi-
calVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes from a volume group.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line.
--removemissing
Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group, if there are no logical volumes allocated on those. This resumes normal
operation of the volume group (new logical volumes may again be created, changed and so on).
If this is not possible (there are logical volumes referencing the missing physical volumes) and you cannot or do not want to remove
them manually, you can run this option with --force to have vgreduce remove any partial LVs.
Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts
that lie on disks that are still present.
If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by acti-
vating your logical volumes with --partial as described in lvm (8).
