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

[Faizer Jameel]

Dear All
Please update me on this.
I have bought these liceneces with my HPUX11.11 mission critical OS. Including Glance,JFS Online,PRM,MCSG, WLM, etc. I run MCSG for my 2 node cluster. I have been using this without any issue.
Today when I wanted to extend my files system I got this message.
Can anyone update me on this.
Thanks

If you have the Mission Critical OE
OnlineJFS should be activated, and thus you should be eligable to extend a mounted vxfs filesystem.
Maybe something hasn't been installed correctly.
Check if you have the OEMC bundle.

e.g.

# swlist -l bundle|grep -i mission
HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.11.0412 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment Component

Dear Aneesh
Please note that I am not running the default LVM that comes with HPUX and not veritas volume manager or veritas files systems.
Also what does this command do?
thanks

Hi Faizel ,

I do understand that U may installed Online jfs through Serviceguard bundle .The above cmds will query and enable the fsadm license .Can u post the command output back.

It should read as I am running the default LVM that comes with HPUX11.11 and not the veritas

[Ralph Grothe]

It doesn't matter whether you organized your disks in VxVM or LVM
because for OnlineJFS you require a VxFS license.
As this is a Veritas product you can use the same Veritas commands meant to check your licenses, exactly as Aneesh told you.

e.g. this is a pure LVM box:

$ /usr/sbin/vxlicrep -s|grep -i online
HP_OnlineJFS = Enabled

There seems to be some problems with the license.
Run this command /usr/sbin/vxlicense -p , and if you see something like that below, contact HP and request a new license version.
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Expiration date: Sun Jun 24 10:00:00 2007 (9.0 days ago)

I hope this helps

Dear All
I bought a valid licence key. HP has given me the disk part number, my customer identifier and also the codeword.

How come this says that its a demo version. I have been using this for 3 years.
Is there a time limit for HP Licences.
Please update

You should probably install newer versions of this products, more details are here:

Hi,

I have noticed a similar issue when I extending an onlinjfs file system but this was before the license expire. HP recommended to install a later version, for 11.11 it would be B3929CA. You should find this from a later version of MCOE core OS install DVDs. The issue disappeared when I've installed it.

Charlie

FYI: I have 8 servers with onlineJFS. 4 have it installed as an application and 4 it was bundled with the OS. I only got the fsadm error after a server reboot of one where it was part of the OS. I think because vxfd was restarted. I bet it only reads the license file on startup.

Anyway I noticed the license file /etc/vx/elm/50.lic is identical on all 8 servers. I only had a recent copy of the application CD's so I reinstalled JFS on one of the servers where it was an app. I then copied the 50.lic and README file to my problem server and rebooted it. Everything works and the vxlicrep -s works out. I copied the same files to all 8 servers thus if they reboot they will have a valid license key. Easier than waiting around for new OS disks.
