Increasing the Root LV's size
Usually you cannot easily add space to the root LVs (/ or /stand) because they need to
be contiguous. The following procedures work around this.
Using Ignite/UX
The recommended and only supported procedure to add space to the root LVs is to use
Ignite/UX, e.g. a make_tape_recovery Medium (refer to the Ignite-UX chapter for
details). To create a recovery tape with Ignite/UX containg the entire root VG just insert
a medium into the drive an run:
# make_tape_recovery –vA [ -d /dev/rmt/Xm ]
If for some reason the above does not apply you may use the unofficial (and also
unsupported) procedure below.
How To increase the root LV`s size using Ignite:
1. System Reboot
Processor is booting from first available device.
To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.
2. Pres any key. You will receive a similar message:
Boot terminated.
