How to mount the LV as /share?

Bishooo — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 03:51:33 GMT

Hello Gents,

I'm working with HP-UX 11i V1, I create a volume group with 10 GB Logical volume! I need to mount this LV as /share & then mount it on Solaris Box. Could you help me with this issue please?

Shalom,

Lets say the logical volume name is

/dev/vg00/lvol5

This entry can be put in /etc/fstab

/dev/vg00/lvol5 /share vxfs delaylog 0 2

mount /share

To then export it and make it mountable on Solaris, you need to use NFS server.

add

/share

to the file:

/etc/exports
# You may wish to put in access restrictions.

exportfs -av

Done.

Hi,

Check the filesystem

fcsk -F vxfs /dev/vg04/rlvol1

Then try to mount it again.

This is what I get with this command:

#fsck -F vxfs /dev/vg04/rlvol1
file system is larger than device
vxfs fsck: cannot initialize aggregate
file system check failure, aborting ...

Hi,

have you done any modification in filesystem size using fsadm ?

Hi Bishoo,

In most cases it is caused by doing say a lvreduce prior to resizing the file system with fsadm.

In such cases we need to recreate the lvol !!

Siva.

I can't create File system !!

#newfs -F hfs /dev/vg04/lvol1
newfs (hfs): /dev/vg04/lvol1 is not a character device

Hi Bishooo,

newfs -F vxfs /dev/vgxx/rlvolx

fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgxx/rlvolx

mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgxx/lvolx /mount_point

Modify /etc/fstab,

/dev/vgxx/lvolx mount_point vxfs largefiles,delaylog 0 2Ã§

rgs,

ran

Thanks to all of you for the help...

I did the following:

I add /dev/vg04/lvol1 /share vxfs delaylog 0 2
in /etc/fstab

Then
#mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vg04/lvol1
#mount /dev/vg04/lvol1 /share
#bdf ---> Just to check

----------------

Now I need to mount /share on Solaris Machine??!!

Please be Patient to me because I'm new to hpux

NOw the filesystem is ready to mount from solaris system.

When I create /etc/exports
What should I write in it?

Re: How to mount the LV as /share?

Bishooo — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 03:32:54 GMT

I edit /etc/exports with:

/share (The Solaris IP)(ro)

:wq

#exportfs -av
exported /share

Bishooo — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 04:08:08 GMT

Now When I log on to the solaris machine, What is the mount command that I should use to mount the /share from the previos machine?

Bishoo,

To mount the filesystem on the Sun, just do the following:

Create a mount point on the Sun box:

mkdir /share

Make sure the HP's IP address and hostname are in the /etc/hosts file on the Sun box.

Then mount the nfs filesystem from the HP box like so:

mount :/share /share

That's all there is to it.

Regards,
Mark
