vxfs33_q4_syms kernel driver

hpuxrox — Mon, 15 Apr 2002 15:27:47 GMT

Greetings,

I currently have a three node MC/ServiceGuard cluster. Im tring to keep all the kernel prams consistant within the cluster, but after extracting the system files from the kernel through system_prep. I get the following driver from one of the machines.

vxfs33_q4_syms

What is this driver? Were did it come from? How do I get the other two node to be consistant?

Hi,

Believe that's the OnLine JFS 3.3 driver - aka Advanced JFS.
Suspect you don't have OnLine JFS (or a lower ver) on the other systems. Note, That this is not a free product - although I can't remember what HP charges for it.

See the following thread:

HTH,

I would do this .. run SAM->KernelConfig->Driver on all the nodes and check all JFS related driver in the list (some will be included in the kernel, some will not). Typically or possibly you would see these drivers in the list ..
1- vxadv
2- vxbase
3- vxfs
4- vxfs33_q4_syms
5- vxportal33

1 and 2 are must have , 1 is for OnlineJFS (if you got OnlineJFS installed and 2 is the BaseJFS. On my system for example (11.0) 3,4 and 5 are listed in SAM but not in the kernel but on an 11i system 3,4 and 5 are not listed at all.
So you can exclude 4 by taking it out from the kernel (via SAM) and rebooting yr system, to maintain the consistency. Earlier version of JFS (I think 3.3) will have 3,4&5 in the driver list.
