Invalid FStype of odm

MikeL_4 — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 14:08:57 GMT

I installed Veritas Database edition for Oracle on one of our servers over the weekend as the DBA's are wanting to use it to implement Quick I/O on the datbases. Along with this was installed: Oracle Disk Manager (VRTSodm) feature.

The VRTSodm added a line in /etc/fstab for odm:

/dev/odm /dev/odm odm delaylog 0 2

After the server rebooted from the installation
/etc/rc.log recoreded the following error:

mountall: cannot mount /dev/odm
mountall: diagnostics from mount
mount: odm : Invalid argument
usage: mount [-l][-v|-p]
mount [-F FStype][-eQ] -a
mount [-F FStype][-eQrV][-o specific_options]
{ special | directory }
mount [-F FStype][-eQrV][-o specific_options]
special directory

The odm file system did mount even though we received the following message:

/dev/odm 0 0 0 0% /dev/odm

Is there something I need to do to have a valid FSTYPE of odm ??

There doesn't seem to be a volume group. "odm" should be the logical volume withing a volume group and therefore, should be created in /dev/vgXX/odm and then mounted accordingly. Can you attach the output of the following:

#strings /etc/lvmtab
# vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 (vg01, etc)

We don't use LVM, we use Veritas, so no lvmtab file...

Sorry Mike....Should have read the question rather than skim it.
