thank you both solutions seems very good.
i think the easiest way is just create a link from the directory under /var and /opt or just mount a separate file system like you said. thats the easiest and fastest way to do it. i would like to avoid an mksysb restore.

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)

The root filesystem was mirrored, someone/something stopped mirroring, and increased / and /home to ridiculous values (/ got increased to 102gb and its only using 4.3gb, so 98gb is free). Can I reduce the / (/dev/hd4) filesytem down WITHOUT corrupting the the OS?

SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5)
NAME
vardir - Shorewall Lite file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
DESCRIPTION
This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state
information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
The file contains a single variable assignment:
VARDIR=directory
where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new
directory before performing a shorewall-lite restart.
Note
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during
installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified path name to hold state information.
Example:
VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/
The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state in the directory specified.
EXAMPLE
VARDIR=/root/shorewall
FILES
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
