Thanks to all who replied. As I expected it's safe and there is no
reason why I should not/cannot move the /var/adm/sw to a different LV.
Here is what Bill Hassell had to say which is pretty much what everyone
else said as well:
/var/adm/sw is indeed critical but it can be on any lvol on any volume
group.
It is definitely recommended to move it away from /var. No symlink is
needed
though. Just mount the new lvol, move the files to the new lvol leaving
/var/adm/sw an empty directory, then edit fstab to point the new lvol
to
the mountpoint /var/adm/sw, umount the new lvol, re-mount the new lvol
to
/var/adm/sw and you're done. The sw directory is only used by
swinstall
and related programs. Just to make sure all is well, stop and restart
swagent.
Thanks again all,
- Justin

I am trying to clean up my /var filesystem. I can't expand it on-line
so I am looking for other options. I have already used the cleanup
command. I found one post on the HP ITRC as follows:
1. moving (copy and delete) /var/adm/sw to a larger
filesystem/directory (say, "/larg/var_adm_sw ") and create a link to
it
ln -s /larg/var_adm_sw /var/adm/sw
Is this safe? Or could I mess up SD on my box by doing this?
