HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

Disk Space Allocation for File Partitions
Depending on your system's purpose, you may need to determine how much disk
space you will need for each file partition before you cold-install or update to HP-UX
11i v3. For example, if you plan to install applications from other vendors, you may
need to modify the size of the /opt partition to accommodate their size. Depending
on how much disk space is available, you can change the partition size to meet your
needs. For information about modifying your file system, see the HP-UX System
Administrator's Guide at the HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com
NOTE: If the default size for the /stand partition is too small for your environment,
do not use the lvextend command to increase the size of the /stand partition; doing
so may render your system unbootable. Instead, use either System Management
Homepage to extend the/stand partition or Ignite-UX recovery to create a recovery
image and resize the /stand partition. You can boot from the recovery image and
resize/stand as you recover the system. For help using System Management
Homepage, refer to the smh (1M) manpages or the HP SMH Online Help included with
the product. For help creating a recovery image, refer to the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide available on the HP Technical Documentation Web site: http://docs.hp.com
