File Size Understanding and Upgrade of software
Hi all, I need to upgrade my software version from 13.0.0 to 13.0.1.
I'll need to review the steps I need to take but I think I should be fine with the process.
I do however struggle with the following,
How do I check that I have enough hard disk space available for the new installation?
I can see from the GUI that I do , its more for my understanding.
Running the pvs shows the following .... This is my physical hard disk, isn't it ? So my physical hard disk has the name of vg-db-sda ??? with 342G free. PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda3 vg-db-sda lvm2 a-- 464.26g 342.21g
I've then run df -h. I really confused on what this is actually telling and how this relates to how the physical disk is spilt between the various logical drives / partitions. i.e. HD1.1 HD1.2 & HD1.3.
Taking the top entry in the list below, what is /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.2.root ? If I use WinSCP and navigate to /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.2.root I can see the files but these are very small files.

If I was to issue the command to create a new logical disk/ partition for a new installation how would I or the system allocate space to the new location ie. HD1.4??
How the iso file is under 2GB how much actual space do I need for this to be installed.
I know I could install the new software on a old ( non active ) partition but I would like to futher my knowledge.
Thanks in advance.
this pretty happens automatically if you create a new volume, i.e. 1.4 or 1.5. in general you don't have to worry to much.
on virtual editions you can do 2 or 3 volumes on the same instance. with hardware appliances you can create a lot more.
