Increase lv root size when installing OBIA 11.1.1.7

Increase lv_root size when installing OBIA 11.1.1.7

Increase the size lv_root incase you run out of space in the middle of your installation and if you are installing the entire oracle stack under /.  It’s important to do a size analysis before installing the entire stack especially when installing on a solo machine.  This includes, an Oracle DB, OBI Application, OBI EE, RCU, ODI etc.   In my case the ODI installer started complaining regarding space requirements and when I checked the root had less that 2GB and about 2.5GB was required just for ODI. I still had patches and much more to install. 

Doing a du -sh on the root and realized that the Oracle directory was eating a lot of space.

Had started with 50GB of space dev/mapper/vg_playground-lv_root and in the middle of my installation I had eaten up almost 47GB.  Did a bunch of cleaning but was not there and eventually had to increase space of root to do my other install smoothly.  Do this as root

1) telinit 2 ( go into single user mode)

2) Decrease /dev/mapper/vg_xxxx-lv_home

# umount /dev/mapper/vg_xxxxx-lv_home

# e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg_xxxx-lv_home

# resize2fs //dev/mapper/vg_xxxxx-lv_home 300G

# lvresize -L 300G /dev/mapper/vg_xxxxx-lv_home

# mount /home

# mount -o remount /home

Check the size of /dev/mapper/vg_xxxx-lv_home with “df -kh”

3) Increase/dev/mapper/vg_xxxx-lv_root

# lvextend -L+50G /dev/mapper/vg_xxxx-lv_root

# resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_xxx-lv_root

Check the size of all partions with “df -kh” Note: This can all be done using gparted.
