fsadm: You don't have a license to run this program

[Nikee Reddy]

Hello,

When I tried to extend the existing file system, the system is responding with the following error message:

root@pluto:/root# fsadm -F vxfs -b 9208M /oracle/DV2/saparch
fsadm: You don't have a license to run this program

root@pluto:/root# fstyp -v /dev/vgdv2/arch

How can I fix this error?

Thanks & regards,

I think you need to look at man vxlicense...

Hi Nikee,

You are trying to extend the filesystem using OnlineJFS options. Looks like you have it installed but you don't have license.

Without OnlineJFS, you will need to unmount the filesystem and then use extend fs on the device file.

umount /oracle/DV2/saparch
extendfs /dev/vgxx/lvolx

(you can add -F vxfs with extendfs but that doesn't really make any difference on the existing filesystems)

Also, I think you may need to run

vxenablef -a


I think that controls the advance functions of your JFS.

Hello Todd,

Here is the output related to vxlicense:

root@pluto:/root# vxlicense -p

vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Feature name: HP_OnlineJFS [50]
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Number of licenses: 1 (non-floating)
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Expiration date: No expiration date
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Release Level: 33
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Machine Class: 263698561

Looks like we do have license to run this program.

Thanks,
Nikee

Is vxadv driver in kernel??
kmsysadm|grep vxadv

What does vxlicense -p says??

Try /sbin/fs/vx/vxenablef -a

Hi (Again),

Use 'rlvolx' instead of 'lvolx'. That was a fat finger.

Hello All,

I could able to run only the vxlicense -p command. All other commands are not working.

Thanks,
Nikee

Did you run
/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef -a

Hello,

In the /stand/system file, I see the following entries related to this problem:

vxfs
vxfs33_q4_syms
vxportal33


I do not see any vxadv files.

Thanks,
Nikee

Compile the kernel to include the vxadv driver. And check.

Anil

[Nikee Reddy]

Hello Anil,

How to complile the kernel and How can I include the vxadv object?

Thanks,
Nikee

[RAC_1]

# cd /stand/build

# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -v -s system

# /usr/sbin/kmsystem -S /stand/build/system -c Y vxadv

==> adding vxadv driver to kernel

# /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s ./system

# mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev

# mv /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev

# mv ./system ../.

# /usr/sbin/kmupdate ./vmunix_test

# shutdown -ry 0

I have run into some problems on one LICENSED OnlineJFS server where it gives false bad license messages until the /var/adm/wtmp and /var/adm/btmp logs are empty.

I have not fully corrected this problem but the workaround was to clear those to files prior to using the defragment functionality of OnlineJFS.

That works half the time,which is of course better than none of the time.

Hello Anil,

Is there no need for me to add the vxadm in the /stand/system file?

Thanks,
Nikee

[RAC_1]

No need to do that.
kmsystem command will take care of that.

Alternatively you can vi system file put vxadv there.

Hi

I have the same problem too.

I have a OnlineJFS license since long ago but now it doesn't run.

I contacted my HP support center to open a case and to request a temporary license. But they didn't explain what hapenned. They suggested me to contact my HP salesman to request a new license key or to re-enter the old one. But I don't have the Entintlement form.

I aimed my HP account engineer to solve this problem.

In my case JFS 3.3 was installed some months ago (OnlineJFS license key was entered long time ago -- near 4 years). Patches also were installed lately, so I'm not sure whether JFS 3.3 is the guilty or it's a defect patch.

Sorry

P.D: Before re-enter a new license key be make a copy of 50.lic file (I cannot remember where it is located).
