How to create a new mount point with 600GB and add 350 GBexisting mount point

Best if there step that i can follow or execute before i mount or add diskspace IN AIX


Thanks

Hi,

You'll need to tell us a little more information;

But assuming that you're not using something like Veritas (VxVM) and if you already have the space available then you would probably just have to use lvextend to extend a volume.

As to mounting a file system then it is just a case of using the mount command like;

Code:

mount -t jfs2 /dev/hdisk5 /mnt

You can find information by running the

Code:

man mount

command or the

Code:

man lvm

command.

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

Code:

smitty lvm
smitty jfs2
