I need more space. We had the idea that we'd take down the instance, give it a larger minidisk and then use VM to copy the existing partition to the larger minidisk. Although this sounded like the easiest way to accomplish this, I don't think it'll work now that we've done it. It IPLs ok and when I go into YAST in the "partitioner" area I see the larger DASD, however, the partition has not changed (obviously). I guess the thinking (or lack thereof) was that this would extra space would magically appear. However, now I realize that isn't the case and to get a partition on DASDC I'm going to need to format it to get the extra space then partition it, is this correct? I suspect I'll be told about LVM but right now this is just a proof of concept and it didn't seem worth the effort to implement LVM for a few instances. I think what I have to do is add a minidisk the size I want, format it, partition it, then copy everything over there and change the mount points, does this sound along the right lines? Thanks
