But OnlineJFS *IS* installed.

Hi gurus...

Can anyone explain this error with fsadm....?


root@test01 $ fsadm -F vxfs -b 696320 /usr
fsadm: the -b option requires "HP OnLineJFS (Advanced Vxfs)"
root@test01 $ swlist | more

Yes but double check to make sure "vxadv" driver is in the kernel ..you can use SAM, if the "State" of the driver "vxadv" is "OUT", you got to change it to "IN" then rebuild your kernel so that this driver is added.

Hi,

Check that you have up to date patches.

wow... vxadv isn't even listed in the kernel drivers. Should it have been there after the install of OnlineJFS? Do I need to re-install it?

[Sandip Ghosh]

It should have been there. But if it is not there first try to remove the existing Software then try to reinstall it.

I had this happened before .. (trying to recall ..) .. it has to do with a patch that will mess this up and by reinstalling the patch this should fix it ..
Take a look at /usr/conf/master.d/vxfs .. do
a "grep vxadv" on this file. Do you see something that indicates "vxadv" is disable or something ? I'm trying to find out which patch causes this .. later

Hi Ian:

The absence of the 'vxadv' driver was a bug in many 11.0 installations involving Online JFS.

You can simply edit '/stand/system' and add this string under the other drivers. Afterwards, regenerate your kernel.

On the money!! Here's the first page of my /usr/conf/master.d/vxfs file....

OK .. here it is .. check your system if this patch exists ..
PHKL_18543(PM/VM/UPS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf). If it does all you have to do is reinstall this patch and it will enable AdvanceJFS (online) for you. What happened is if this patch is installed before OnlineJFS is installed, the patch will disable "vxadv" driver (seen in /usr/conf/master.d/vxfs). Afterwards the installation of a valid and licensed OnlineJFS would not work properly until you reinstall this patch.

[S.K. Chan]

When you re-install the patch, install it "as-it", do not change any option or set any swinstall option differently. This I have personally done encountered before. I hope it's the same case for you.

[Ian Killer_1]

You're right. It will re-install even if the same revision exists and that option is false. Sometimes I think you guys know too much to be sane. My sincerest gratitude once again...

Ian

OK, I finally got the re-installation of this patch approved. After re-installation without changing the install options the OnlineJFS product still doesn't work. Find my new /usr/conf/master.d/vxfs file attached. I can't see anything wrong. HELP!!!

Hi... I'm starting a new forum trail as I have to lose the rabbit.
