ACLs on VXFS

[Satish Y]

Hi All,

Need to set ACLs on one of our VXFS filesystem / directories. I have below patches installed, but unable to know from this if I have Advanced VXFS installed and can use ACLs?

Try setacl. I think for JFS/VxFS ACLs you dont need to have OnlineJFS.

do # swlist -l product and check for advanced JFS.

ACLs are supported with JFS 3.3 on 11.0 and 11i.

Just check what version of JFS you have

#fstyp -v
check for the version

#swlist -l fileset|grep -i jfs

If you have jfs 3.3 or above then it can support ACLs
