system won’t boot). The size defined here is fixed at 2000MB. Note that impacts exist later that prevent you from decreasing the size below approximately 1GB. The reason for the much larger size is that kernels are considerably larger on HP-UX 11i v3 than previous HP-UX releases.

}

The other logical volumes are controlled by the use model "Create separate volumes (/usr, /var, ...)". When it is set to true (and it is by default as we saw earlier) other file systems are created.

"Create separate volumes (/usr, /var, ...)" {

Below is the definition of /usr. Compared to previous releases of HP-UX the definition is simplified, since the size no longer changes depending on the size of the root disk. We have large files enabled, and only for the disk layout “Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with HFS” is the file system type set to HFS.

The size is a minimum of 512MB, and can have a maximum size of the impacts with a minimum of 20% free. It can be resized by Ignite-UX to take into account the remaining space if there is not enough to meet the maximum size.

The configuration dealing with _hp_root_grp_striped is last, and enables the logical volume to be striped over all the disks in the root volume or disk group (assuming there is more than one since it won’t do much if only one disk is present). This configuration is present in other logical volume definitions and won’t be mentioned again.
