Hello, I have an AIX Oracle database server that I need to create a new filesystem/mount where I can create a new ORacle home to install 11g on. What are the needed steps to create this? There are mounts for Oracle 9i and 10g already. Thank you.
For hp-ux, you would have
pvcreate to create the physical volume
vgcreate to create the volume group
lvcreate to create the logical volume (or your mount point)
I seem to recall AIX as
mkdev
mkvg
mklv
So, take a look at mklv command.
The following link has a good cross-reference, so if you know a command for one unix flavor, it would point you to the associated command for a different unix flavor (or system type). http://www.unixguide.net/

All I want to do is create a new mount point called /oracle11g. How can I see what file systems are available. In Solaris there is a format command for formatting disks and allocating partitions. There is also a newfs command for putting a UFS filesystem on a disk. How do I set this all up on AIX? Thank you for you help.
You gotta know onto which Volume Group (vg) you want to place it, if you want to mirror it and how large it should be.
Then you have to create a Logical Volume (lv) and on top of it a filesystem (fs). Here an example for a LV with 1 copy (no mirror) of type "jfs2" with lv_ora11 as LV name placed on "somevg" using 12 Physical Partitions. How large 1 Phsyical Partitions is you can get by issuing "lsvg somevg".
Code:
mklv -c 1 -t jfs2 -y lv_ora11 somevg 12
Now for the FS:
Code:
crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/lv_ora11 -m /oracle11g
mount /oracle11g
If you want different options, best check the man pages for those commands. You are lucky since in AIX are plenty of explained examples at the end of the man pages for about every command. I miss that on other OS'es sometimes. There are some considerations when using that in clusters or when creating FS'es with an extra log LV cause of performance.
Also you can use "smitty lvm" and use the ascii menues.

I would like to create a 20GB mount point. In Solaris I can use the format command to see what disks are available to format and create a filesystem on. Can this volumn group be used. If not how do I see what is available on a disk to format?
I created a filesystem but it is too small. When I tried to increase the size it complained. Using smitty fs:

I received the following error:

There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes
to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command

Dear Gurus,
Could it be possible to have the output of df -k sorted? The df -k output messed up after recent power trip.
Also, is there any folders that I should look into to reduce the root size (other than /var/adm and /var/crash) after server crash?
Many thanks in advance.

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.
