OnlineJFS on HP-UX 11.23 for Itanium

Domenico Viggiani — Wed, 05 Jan 2005 08:30:02 GMT

Hi,
I have a RX2600 (Itanium2) box with HP-UX 11.23 and Sep04 upgrade.
I need to resize some filesystem and I'd like to do it online, without unmounting them, as I usually did in the RISC world with the additional OnlineJFS package.
Questions:
- do I still need OnlineJFS?
- if yes, what is exact product code I have to order?
- what is the VERITAS Volume Manager bundle I have on my machine?

Thanks in advance

Without OnlineJFS you must umount the filesystem to reduce or expand it.

OnlineJFS is required to do this work without unmounting.

In the PA-RISC world where I am now you could do everything except the extendfs without unmounting the filesystem.

As far as the docs say that applies to HP-UX v2 Itanium/PA-RISC.

HP-UX 11i v2 (HP-UX 11.23) for both Itanic and PARISC run VxVM 3.5 but VxFS (aka JFS) is already at 3.5. I cannot recall the product code of OnlineJFS (Full VxFS) but it should be on Apps CD 1 for which you'll need a codeword.

The bundled and inetegrated VxVM is the FULL VxVM release but you'll only get basic but useful functionality. You'll need to purchase licenses for the Full VxVM and options BUT you need not re-install VxVM anhymore. With the Base VxVM - you already get mirroring on your root disks.
