In VG01 there are three mount point each of 100gb size. There is no data on below mount point
/soft/01
/soft/02
/soft/03
Is it possible to resize each of these mount point to 50 GB. So 150 GB will free and release from VG01. I need 150 GB free space to create new VG, VG03.
I am new to HP Unix.
Request you to please suggest steps to do above activity.
This assumes that you do not have a modern SAN where the "discs" are resizeable.
A Volume Group is made up of a Group of Physical Discs (aka. Volumes). Any individual Physical Disc cannot be in more than one Volume Group. If you can release at least one whole disc from VG01, you can create a VG03 from the now-spare disc(s).
The only real reason to do this is if you are about to exceed the maximum number of Logical Volumes allowed in a Volume Group.
