[HPADM] Reduce swap device


Hi hp-ux guys,

Some week-end soon I'll have the opportunity to reboot our rx4640
dual-core Itanium server. That occasion gives me a rare opportunity
to reduce the size of one of the swap devices.

Having studied the lvreduce command, I conclude that the proper
action plan is as follows:

1. Disable from fstab the particular entry
/dev/vg00/lvol10 ... swap pri=2 0 0

2. Reboot

3. Issue the command lvreduce -l 1339 /dev/vg00/lvol10

4. Enable the above entry in fstab

5. Reboot

Amazingly simple it seems. Does anyone see any nasty surprises
coming my way?

Cheers
Jens Kieffer-Olsen
