Quick Start Guide

Detection: The number of kbytes free on /opt is less than 2000000.
Diagnosis: Not enough space.
Correction: Extend the size of the logical volume with the lvextend command, and then extend the size of the
file system within the logical volume with the extendfs command. Detailed instructions for this procedure
are found in the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.
For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within
this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on extending a file system.
For HP-UX 11i v2 and earlier versions, see Managing Systems and Workgroups. Within this guide, look for the
chapter on managing disks and files, and then the section on extending the size of a file system within a logical
volume.
Both administration guides are available at http://www.docs.hp.com.

Consider making room in /var/opt/ignite for recovery archives, golden images, and software depots. Estimate
approximately 4 GB per recovery and golden image archive. See the section on Ignite-UX server requirements
in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html. For information on how to do
this, see the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.
