You need to know which volume group you have with that disk space to spare ( remember to always keep some free in order to extend logical volumes in that volume group before having to add extra disk, as a newbie I will not give the commands but suggest you to use SMIT (GUI) or smitty ( terminal )
you need to know what type of file system you want, I suggest with that size JFS2 and decide of the mount point

I have following valid paths in my unix system:
1. /opt/cdedev/informatica/InfSrv/app/bin
2. /vikas/cdedev/app
Both refer to the same physical location. So if I created one file 'test' in first... (3 Replies)
Hello all,
I'm sharing 1 volume from a Sun Storage array (6130), out to 2 servers. Created a slice on one server and mounted a filesystem. On the other server the disk already sees the created slice from the other server (shared throught the storage array, so mounted this filesystem as well.

What does it mean when your LV STATE changes to closed/syncd? What does it mean when your mount point is #? I was not able to mount it or write data to it. So in this case since there was no data in /opt/cvt I used rmlv to get rid of it. Why did I have to manually edit /etc/filesystems to get rid... (1 Reply)

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).
