Checking online jfs on old OS version

Ravinder Singh Gill — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:52:22 GMT

As you can see below the two servers I am working with are old and have old HPUX versions.

root@hp11:/ -: uname -a
HP-UX hp11 B.11.00 U 9000/800 675319372 unlimited-user license

root@hp10:/ -: uname -a
HP-UX hp10 B.11.00 U 9000/800 687319342 unlimited-user license

vxlicense is not present as this is a command provided on later versions. Can you advise how I can check if they have online jfs licenses/what is the command to find this out?

is there a difference between it being installed and it having a valid license?

yup, see the output of command
#/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef
System is licensed for features

No, there was no license back then. If you had purchased it, you got a codeword which allowed you to install it. So, if it's installed, it's useable as is.

Yes and no.
The enablement of the online version of JFS is just the installation of a license.
In HP-UX 11.11 there once was a mistake with a license that expired, but normally the licenses are permanent.

You can try fsadm with -d or -e option while the filesystem is mounted. If it works, your OnlineJFS is operational. If it complains, it's not (look at the fsadm_vxfs manpage).
