Re: [Veritas-vx] Can I increse /opt partition under veritas

2010-04-05 Thread robertinoau
Can you do it ? Yes Should you do it ? No VM will let you grow any volume BUT since your /opt on slice 5 it WILL NOT resize the underlying partition. So if you need to un-encapsulate you will end up with /opt being the size of s5, NOT what you resized it to under VM.
