Hi looking for a little advice..What are the implication of DISK: /dev/hdp filling to 100% . Have no experiece with Unix so looking for a little guidance. I'm a windows admin and have inherited two IAX servers. Both of which are monitored via MOM. One has started reporting the below error.
Unlike windoze, which has different "drives" (a:, b:, etc.) UNIX - AIX is no exception - has a strictly hierarchical file system. Different disks ("partitions" in your wording) are "mounted" into one hierarchy and the user doesn't have to care which disk he is accessing. Changing from one directory to another could mean changing from one disk to another. In Windoze you would "net use" a "share" and end up using it as a new drive letter. In UNIX the analogous process would be to create a directory somewhere, "mount" the drive and then see its contents below this subdirectory.
OK, after this "cultural indoctrination" to your problem at hand: one of these "disks" is filling up and currently at 90.5% full. Issue a "df -k" to see which file systems are mounted and how much they are filled. The figures, unless otherwise stated, are in KBs.
Some filesystems contain rather static data (/usr for instance) and it doesn't matter if they are nearly full. Others hold widely varying amounts of temporary data and they have to have lots of free space for the system to work fine. If you have questions about to which group a specific filesystem belongs just ask.
AIX features a "logical volume manager", which is a bit too complex to explain for that problem. Suffice it to say that you can - even without unmounting - dynamically resize your mounted disks. Here is how:
Find out which filesystem the logical volume /dev/hdp belongs to:
Hi,

Objective: To recreate the partitioning setup of /dev/sda on /dev/sdc
How would I parse the below information and initialize variables
(an array?) that can be used to build sgdisk commands in a script, regardless of the number of partitions?
Something along the lines of:

Hello AIXians,
I can't boot my AIX, it hangs and stops at the code error: 0518
After searching google, I knew the problem is due to problems in File Systems.
So the solution is booting from any bootable media, then run these commands in maintenance mode:
#fsck -y /dev/hd4

Hi,
How can i check that i am using RAW devices for storage in my AIX machine...
Also after adding a LUN from storage to a aix host, when i check /dev in the host, i can see both rhdisk and hdisk with same number
eg:

crw------- 1 root ... (4 Replies)
So, we removed a LUN from the SAN and the system is refusing to remove the references to it in the /dev folder. I've done the following:
devfsadm -Cv
powermt -q
luxadm -e offline <drive path>
luxadm probe
All those commands failed to remove the path. The drive stills shows up as <drive... (13 Replies)
