HP-UX using unused HDD space

UNIX HP-UX
1

Hello,

I have a system with HP-UX 11.23 installed on it. There are ~36GB of unused space on the HDD. I did a very basic installation, and it created the usual volume group /dev/vg00. When I look at the output of ioscan -funC disk, I see this (and more, but irrelevant to this post):

disk      1  0/1/1/0.0.0    sdisk      CLAIMED     DEVICE       HP 73.4GST373454
LC
                           /dev/dsk/c2t0d0     /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
                           /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1   /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s1
                           /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2   /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2
                           /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s3   /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3

How do I "see" the unused hard drive space? I am looking at the size of the "slices" and here is what I am seeing:

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s1 | grep size
               size: 512000 Kbytes
# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2 | grep size
               size: 70765568 Kbytes
# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3 | grep size
               size: 409600 Kbytes

Normally on a Linux system I could do something like "fdisk -l /dev/sda" to see the partition table for /dev/sda, or I could do "fdisk /dev/sda" to view and/or edit the partition table for that device.

Thanks,
Joe

Sorry, the volume group /dev/vg00 only consists of a single physical volume. That single pv happens to be my HD :o .

I just created a new logical volume in the volume group and used up the space.

Thanks,
