Defrag hp-ux file system

As you know when you write data on to the system the data is spread across the disk. This sometimes affects the performance on the I/O. It is best practice to have this scheduled on regular basis (weekly at least) for better performance.

# fsadm -F vxfs -DEde -t 7200 /filesystem

Or schedule this in the crontab

# fsadm -F vxfs -DEde -t 7200 /filesystem > /tmp/defragreport 2>&1
