Solaris

I am running solaris 10 with Veritas. I want to extend a filesystem. It's an oracle partition (/ora12). How can I find out if there is space available to expand the filesystem and then how does one extend it.

I'm from the HPUX world and so LVM was always how I did things.

Thanks

hi,
right now ur in vxvm, so
#vxdisk list
#vxdg free (i think you are in ora disk group) or #vxdg -g ora free
it will display the free space in that file system(ora)
free space is very low at that time you have to use vxassist cmd otherwise you use vxmake(very long process) cmd.

=========================================================
Through vxassist cmd
#vxdisk list
#vxdg free or #vxdg -g <diskgroup> free
#vxassist -g <diskgroup> growto vol <vol size>
#devfsadm (no need)
#vxdisk list
=========================================================
different ways are ther.but itz a simple way to increse the fs.
if u want more tell me.

Hello

In the case of vxvm you can proceed with vxdisk list to list the disks in the disk group [take care of mirrroring]
#vxdisk list ---will list disks

# #vxdg -g ora free -------------- if disk group is ora

you will get free space in the specific FS
free space is very low at that time you have to use vxassist cmd otherwise you use vxmake

vxdg -g <diskgroup> free
#vxassist -g <diskgroup> growto vol <vol size> -----------will increase
#devfsadm (no need)
#vxdisk list


pls revert

This is the output I get from df -k

and this is what I get from vxdg

# vxdg free

I don't see where I can see how much extra space is available for /ora12

use this to grow the size
vxassist -g dg growto volume size

dude,

just you have to go that diskgroup name, i think u r diskgroup is ora12.

Example:

#vxdg -g ora12 free or
#vxdg free (it will show the all diskgroups)


#vxdisk list
#vxdg free or #vxdg -g <diskgroup> free
#vxassist -g <diskgroup> growto vol <vol size>
#devfsadm (no need)
#vxdisk list
