Separate volume groove for SAP WAS installation on AIX ??

Hi All,

Finally, I succeeded in installing WAS/Portal on AIX system, thanks to some great SDNers who

really helped me..

Now i am just patching up the system, but many times the system internal folder

<i>/usr</i> is getting full...And its very hard to assign some more space to this

directory...

As far as the inst guide says, the WAS installation directory is being created under the

system folder /usr , (which has a fixed amount of memory)...i mean the structure

<i>/usr/sap/<SAPSID></i>..And this folder has taken almost the full memory..

The system admin say, AIX never recomends to install anything directly under

<i>/usr</i>..The best way to instal any application is to create separate volume groove &

install there..We did the same for oracle installation..

So I just want to know, can we use a external repository (separate volume groove/separate

file system) for SAP installation, means can we create the structure /sap/<SAPSID>/ on an

external disk..

If we can,then how to install WAS on separate volume..

What are the configuration steps, so that the SAPinst will install automatically on that

voulme ??

Thanks a lot again,for all our help.
