Hi Gurus,

I have a 9 GB Root Disk (veritas encapsulated) with following partitions
running on Solaris 8 as below:

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks

  0 root wm 0 - 285 501.48MB (286/0/0) 1027026

  1 swap wu 286 - 1454 2.00GB (1169/0/0) 4197879

  2 backup wm 0 - 4923 8.43GB (4924/0/0) 17682084

  3 var wm 1455 - 1740 501.48MB (286/0/0) 1027026

  4 unassigned wm 1741 - 3506 3.02GB (1766/0/0) 6341706

  5 usr wm 3507 - 4091 1.00GB (585/0/0) 2100735

  6 - wu 0 - 4923 8.43GB (4924/0/0) 17682084

  7 - wu 4923 - 4923 1.75MB (1/0/0) 3591

Now I want to increase the partition size of /var file system. if I use
18 GB Disk and do ufsdump/ufsrestore I first need to create a partition
and then do ufsdump/ufsrestore. Now I need to know how do I dump slice 6
and 7 which is created by Veritas Voulme Manager and how partition 6
will reflect that as 18 GB (entire disk)? Also what about slice 7? Just
create a 2 MB partition for that?

If I use dd to create an image on 18 GB disk (from 9 GB Root disk) is
there a way I can increase the partition?

Any Help/Suggestion/Pointer will be greatly appreciated.

I will summarize.

Regards

B
