2.9.1.2 Extending the root LVM Partition on Systems Running Oracle Exadata System Software Earlier than Release 11.2.3.2.1
You can extend the size of the root (/
) partition on systems running Oracle Exadata System Software earlier than release 11.2.3.2.1 using this procedure.
Note:
-
This procedure requires the system to be offline and restarted.
-
Keep at least 1 GB of free space in the
VGExaDb
volume group to be used for the LVM snapshot created by thedbnodeupdate.sh
utility during software maintenance. If you make snapshot-based backups of the/
(root) and/u01
directories by following the steps in Creating a Snapshot-Based Backup of Oracle Linux Database Server, then keep at least 6 GB of free space in theVGExaDb
volume group. -
For management domain systems, active and inactive Sys LVM's are
LVDbSys2
andLVDbSys3
instead ofLVDbSys1
andLVDbSys2
. -
Make sure
LVDbSys1
andLVDbSys2
are sized the same.
