We are trying to install two instances of ecc on one HP ux system.So how do we divide logical partition size for them.I am new to Hp ux ...any pointers and commands how to navigate in hp ux

I suggest you check the installation guides, they provide a good overview of what filesystems are needed for an instance.

The HP-UX configuration tool is "sam", it can be started on command line or in X Windows.

How and what to configure is beyond of the scope of this forum, I suggest you get an HP-UX admin (or a basis consultant) on your side to help you.

Dear Ambarish,

the word mounting refers to the process of getting a sepcific device into the filesystem structure. Coming from the windows world you can imagine it as follows:

- You have a hard disk drive in the server but you cannot see it in the "explorer"

- You are quite sure, that this hard disk drive is available in the server and it contains data

- Via mounting you make it available for usage in the server, which actually means you mount the hard disk drive to a directory

- Now the content of this HDD is available to you

Hot to do this? Very easy:

The HDD is /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 (this is Sun Solaris style, I'm not familiar with HPUX) and you wanna mount it to a directory under root: /directory. Now u execute mount:

1. mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /directory (syntax may change due to filesystems etc.)

2. cd /directory

3. ls -l ./

...

Now the content of the disk is available. That is all about mounting

I didnt get you what you have said by this statement .We have a hard disk and yet we cannot see the data how is it possible and what do you mean by cannot see in explorer

You have a hard disk drive in the server but you cannot see it in the "explorer"

What is the name of the hard disk drive? And which partition contains data?

Concerning SAP products - yes - but not concerning how to use an operating system. We can't teach you how a Unix system functions. I'm not blaming you, it's just that it's beyond of the scope of this forum - whose title is "SAP on Unix".

This depends again on how the system is set up. You can have a hard disk referred to "/dev/rdsk/<logical name> or you can use a volume manager and refer to the "disk" as /dev/vg<volumegroup>. If you enter the command "bdf" you will see the disk names and where they are mounted.

So does mouting means that if we have a usb drive in order for the files to be visible in unix we have to mount the device then.
