Checking online jfs on old OS version

[Ravinder Singh Gill]

As you can see below the two servers I am working with are old and have old HPUX versions.

root@hp11:/ -: uname -a
HP-UX hp11 B.11.00 U 9000/800 675319372 unlimited-user license

root@hp10:/ -: uname -a
HP-UX hp10 B.11.00 U 9000/800 687319342 unlimited-user license


vxlicense is not present as this is a command provided on later versions. Can you advise how I can check if they have online jfs licenses/what is the command to find this out?

use command
swlist |grep -i online
it will return like below if installed
B3929CA B.11.11.03.03 HP OnLineJFS

[Ravinder Singh Gill]

is there a difference between it being installed and it having a valid license?

[AwadheshPandey]

yup, see the output of command
#/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef
System is licensed for features
Full_VxFS HP_DMAPI

[Pete Randall]

No, there was no license back then. If you had purchased it, you got a codeword which allowed you to install it. So, if it's installed, it's useable as is.

Thanks for your help.

Yes and no.
The enablement of the online version of JFS is just the installation of a license.
In HP-UX 11.11 there once was a mistake with a license that expired, but normally the licenses are permanent.

You can try fsadm with -d or -e option while the filesystem is mounted. If it works, your OnlineJFS is operational. If it complains, it's not (look at the fsadm_vxfs manpage).
