SVM: Determine Free Space on Soft Partition

Check out this article about SVM: Determine Free Space on Soft Partition. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

SVM: Determine Free Space on Soft Partition , we use the metastat -c command…

[root@localhost] /work/users> metastat -c d103
d103 p 32GB d100
d100 m 68GB d101 d102
d101 s 68GB c1t2d0s0
d102 s 68GB c1t3d0s0

[root@localhost] /work/users> metastat -p d103
d103 -p d100 -o 32 -b 58720256 -o 127926432 -b 8388608
d100 -m d101 d102 1
d101 1 1 c1t2d0s0
d102 1 1 c1t3d0s0

So from the first metastat -c d103.. that’s a mirrored 68G partition, d100 and a 32G soft partition d103.. We still have around 35G of space.

update: — someone comment please.. this information is incomplete!

Check out this article about ZFS Quotas and Reservations. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

Notes on ZFS quotas, reservations and others.. like adding up disk for the pool and creating pool altogether.

First, create a pool using ‘zpool‘. Then use ‘zfs‘ to make the filesystems.

Creating Pool with zpool

Create a pool called pool1. The -m is optional. If given, it specifies a mount point for zfs filesystems created from the specified pool. The mount point should be empty or nonexistant. If the -m argument is omitted, mount point is “/”.

Unlock locked user account in HP-UX

Check out this article about Unlock locked user account in HP-UX. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

I know nothing about HP UX (yeah, except SAM). That’s why, just now, when there’s a request to just make a trace route from an HPUX server to another server, I have to login and do execute the command. I couldn’t log in as my user id so i logged in as root instead from the console.

I check grep’d my account the walah! It was there! I reset the password, open an ssh terminal and tried to login. unsuccessful, that’s why i knew then that it is locked.

Here’s how to unlock a locked user account in HP UX in command line.

In HP-UX 11.xx if user account is locked, you can unlock the account by running SAM. But running SAM takes some time usually 2-3 minutes on heavily loaded HP-UX servers. You can unlock the locked user account from command line by running following command:

1. Login as root or use sudo from your account, if there is no sudo installed just use su – root :

$sudo su –

*******

2. Run this command to unlock the locked HP-UX user account:

#/usr/lbin/modprpw –l –k johnm

Running modprpw will unlock the locked user account in HP-UX from command line.without running SAM

NOTE: modprpw is HP-UX command only and wouldn’t work in Solaris,AIX and any Linux servers

That info was ‘borrowed’ from here…. thanks!
