3. Configure disks
# vxdisksetup -i disk_name
or using vxdiskadm -> choose 1. Add or initialize one or more disks
4. make diskgroup
# vxdg init dg_name disk_name=device_name
* vxdg init backupdg backupdg01=Disk_24
5. make volume
# vxassist -g backupdg maxsize
2096883712
# vxassist -g backupdg make backuplv 2096883712
*size=output from vxassist -g dg_name maxsize
6. Start volume
# vxvol -g backupdg startall
7. Make Filesystem

OS Memory Leaks/Hogs Thursday, September 13, 2007

1. To cek memory leaks in hpux can use an unsupported utility called kmeminfo
2. Checking memory hogs:
- JFS inode cache is sized by vx_ninode kernel parameter. the value of vx_ninode is determined by memory size
- lowering vx_ninode results in a large savings of memory
- to see the JFS inode cache:
# echo “vxfs_ninode/D” | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
- to see how many JFS inodes are currently cached:
# echo “vx_cur_inodes/D” | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

Get the source of lsof from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.78/
To install, run command swinstall -s $PWD/lsof-4.78-hppa-11.11.depot \*, the insallation file will be put at /usr/local
To display just the lsof output lines with file locks run the following:
/opt/lsof/bin/lsof | awk ‘match(”NrRwWuUx”,substr($0,31,1))’
