fsadm error (On-Line JFS)

Seth Gustafsson — Wed, 21 Feb 2001 01:43:41 GMT

Getting this error when trying to expand a file system.

#fsadm -F vxfs -b 1228800 /home
fsadm: the -b option requires "HP OnLineJFS (Advanced Vxfs)"

As you can see below, I have On-Line JFS installed (Output from swlist)

2UserDegrade B.11.00 HP-UX 2-User License (For degrading user license level)
B2491BA B.11.00 MirrorDisk/UX
B3929BA B.11.00 HP OnLineJFS (Advanced VxFS)
B9788AA 1.3.0.00 Java 2 SDK 1.3 for HP-UX (700/800), PA1.1 + PA2.0 Add On
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
UXCoreMedia B.11.00 HP-UX Media Kit (Reference Only. See Description)
XSWGR1100 B.11.00.45 HP-UX Extension Pack, May 1999

Anybody have any ideas, how I can fix this.

Thank you

Dan Gustafsson

hi

we need to verify that you have the vxadv driver in the kernel:

#strings /stand/vmunix | grep -i vxadv

if not you need to reinstall the jfs patches.
Take a closer look at the Special Installation Instructions for the patch "PHKL_18543 s700_800 11.00 PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf patch" for further details

Hi Dan (or Seth?),

You should use 'swverify B3929BA' , as this will show you if you have any problem with the Online JFS product.

In this case, simply reinstall the product or possibly the latest patch as Peter suggested.

Best regards,

Dan

For JFS3.3 you need a special license key.

Check if you have a valid license:
/sbin/fs/vxfs3.3/vxenablef
or
/sbin/fs/vxfs3.3/vxlicense -p
