filesystem is not mounting.

[AbhilashPaul]

My Box was running in 11.31 now i exported its VGs and installed hp unix 11.23 ,and imported the VGs .Now its showing all lvms . but its not mounting.In 11.23 the vxfs is 3.5 version.I have doubt that is this problem because of version.. any solution for this, ??

Probably that's the issue yes...

check the VxFS file layout version of the filesystem by running:

fstyp -v /dev/vgXX/lvolN

If the version is 6 or higher, then VxFS 3.5 won't be able to read it.

You could probably try the following product:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=EnableVxFS

Note that you must ensure PHCO_34208 or one of its sucessors is installed before trying to install this.

I have to say I've never had to do this, so I'm not sure whether the package is actually only for systems that already have VxFS 5 on them...

Anyway worth a try, otherwise you'll have to hunt down an 11.23 install DVD with VxFS4.1 or 5.0 on it...

Thanks Edmon. I think i have to reload back but the problem is, i want to use this server as a NFS server , so this filesystem version will raise some probelm there.Because all other servers are running in 11.23 . So now ...what to do ?

As long as the NFS server can mount the VxFS filesystem, the NFS clients will mount NFS filesystems - they won't care whether that version of VxFS the filesystem is.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't have an 11.31 NFS file server with 11.23 cleinst...
