Dear All

We have HP9000 rp7400 Server running with hp-ux 11i.

Our Disk storage has two volume groups and are allocated as follows:

  1. /#vgdisplay -v
    --- Volume groups ---
    VG Name /dev/vg00
    VG Write Access read/write
    VG Status available
    Max LV 255
    Cur LV 9
    Open LV 9
    Max PV 16
    Cur PV 2
    Act PV 2
    Max PE per PV 4350
    VGDA 4
    PE Size (Mbytes) 4
    Total PE 8680
    Alloc PE 6422
    Free PE 2258
    Total PVG 0
    Total Spare PVs 0
    Total Spare PVs in use 0

  2. VG Name /dev/vgvedas
    VG Write Access read/write
    VG Status available, exclusive
    Max LV 255
    Cur LV 14
    Open LV 14
    Max PV 16
    Cur PV 7
    Act PV 7
    Max PE per PV 17492
    VGDA 14
    PE Size (Mbytes) 4
    Total PE 122423
    Alloc PE 121856
    Free PE 567
    Total PVG 0
    Total Spare PVs 0
    Total Spare PVs in use 0

As you can see /dev/vgvedas has only 2GB free space.

Is it possible to resize filesystems of /dev/vgvedas with free PE of /dev/vg00 ?

Thanks in advance.

No, and it may well be you dont have 2GB free but only 1 (vg00 mirrored disks?...)

Your only alternative apart from adding some disks in vgvedas and would be as a temporary solution: move data out by creating in vg00 lets say a lvol10 of 800 MB mounted on /tempo (if vg00 were mirrored you could create a 700 mb lv unig one disk and extend of the same using the other giving you 1.4GB but at your own risc (unmirrored))
and either copy a subdir that holds in and doesnt grow etc.., remove the subdir and link :ln -s /tempo subdir
