Step 5. Unmount /var:
/sbin/umount /var
This is required for the next step, since extendfs can only work on
unmounted volumes. If you get a “device busy” error at this point, reboot
the system and log on in single-user mode before continuing
Step 6. Extend the size of the logical volume:
/sbin/lvextend -L new_size_in_MB /dev/vg00/lvol7
For example, to make this volume 332 MB:
/sbin/lvextend -L 332 /dev/vg00/lvol7
Step 7. To extend the file system size to the logical volume size:
/sbin/extendfs /dev/vg00/rlvol7
Step 8. Mount /var:
/sbin/mount /var
Step 9. Go back to the regular init state: init 3 or init 4, or reboot.
Step 10. Wait 10 minutes after changing the system state or rebooting to let
processes complete before your enter an update-ux command.
Increasing /stand
IMPORTANT Increasing the /stand partition requires reformatting your root disk.
You will need to cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 on your system.
Before you begin this step, back up your system. See “Back up Your
System!” on page 86.
In some cases, you will need to increase the size of /stand prior to
completing a successful update to HP-UX 11i v1. If the update-ux
command fails with a message indicating that /stand is too small, follow
these steps to increase the size of /stand.
