Re: Urgent*** Pls help me

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/usdsrcexe/rlvol2

you need use newfs command and you need specify
raw logical name while creating new vxfs file system

Problems are common to all, but attitude makes the difference

Re: Urgent*** Pls help me

I removed the volumegroup and tried to create a new volumegroup.

# mkdir /dev/Test_vgworking

# mknod /dev/Test_vgworking/group c 64 0x080000

# vgcreate /dev/Test_vgworking /dev/dsk/c12t1d0
Increased the number of physical extents per physical volume to 6399.
vgcreate: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c12t1d0" is already recorded in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.

# lvcreate -L 100 -n test2working /dev/Test_vgworking
lvcreate: Volume group "/dev/Test_vgworking" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.

Re: Urgent*** Pls help me

Did you read all the responses?

Did you try this?

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/usdsrcexe/rlvol2


Note the "r" in rlvol2

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
