Sometimes we are facing with the growth of using the vg00 in our HP-UX system. As we know the vg00 is usually used to store the file system of a server. I coincidentally faced with a problem where the /usr mount point greater up to 93%. For the anticipation and keep the system is running we have to increase the volume of the mount point.
/dev/vg00/lvol7 7667712 7130224 533344 93% /usr
On HP-UX are known onlineJFS that can be used for this purpose. Just to share the experiences, here are the steps to extend the /usr mount point using onlineJFS in HP-UX:
1.Perform backups Ignite especially if the system is large and critical. In anticipation of the unexpected matters.
2.Check availability onlineJFS facilities on the system, whether already installed
# swlist | grep -i online

3.Check the available volume that can still be used.
vgdisplay v vg00
vgdisplay: Volume group "/dev/v" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "v".

I think it will be different steps depend on the system and situation. Be careful and please double check the step before going worse.
