It looks like the 'mkfs' did not actually create a file system on the LV.

Try newfs instead of mkfs.

# newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgquorum2/rlvquorum2

Once that is done, try mounting the LV.

Hello,

if you are using hpux 11.31, no need to specify largefiles,

I suggest you to add option "-b 8192" to your command newfs

After lvcreate try below commands, it will work..

newfs -F vxfs  /dev/vgquorum2/rlvquorum2

mount  /dev/vgquorum2/lvquorum2 /rac-quorum2

Hi,

Thanks a lot Patrick Wallek , srayfay and rkjha_hp for your help. I found the solution , here the details.

***********************************************************************************

# mount -F vxfs /dev/vg00/usr_sap_prd /test1
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-20012: not a valid vxfs file system
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-24996: Unable to get disk layout version

Here, when running the newfs command, it is not actually creating the filesystem.
It is same with the mkfs command as well.

Execute this

#ls -l /sbin
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   16   Jul 9 13:14 extendfs -> /sbin/fs_wrapper
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   0     Jul 21 16:41 fs_wrapper
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   16   Jul 9 13:14 fsck -> /sbin/fs_wrapper
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   16   Jul 9 13:14 fsdb -> /sbin/fs_wrapper
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   16   Jul 9 13:14 mkfs -> /sbin/fs_wrapper
lr-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin   16   Jul 9 13:14 newfs -> /sbin/fs_wrapper

The mkfs/newfs/extendfs/fsck/fsdb files are a soft link to /sbin/fs_wrapper and its size is 0 bytes.
Running swverify \* also returned an error about this /sbin/fs_wrapper file and from which fileset/patch this file was installed.

ERROR: File "/sbin/fs_wrapper" should have mtime "1115195874" but the
actual mtime is "1248174665".
ERROR: File "/sbin/fs_wrapper" should have size "647260" bytes but
the actual size is "0" bytes.

ERROR: Fileset "OS-Core.UX2-CORE,l=/,r=B.11.23" had file errors.

Solution
We need to restore the /sbin/fs_wrapper file for newfs /mkfs to work correctly. This can be done using the following methods:
• If the other system has identical operating system/patches, then we can copy the file from the other system.

***********************************************************************************

I just copy the file fs_wrapper from another same server with same patches and thas all. Then i can create filesystems with the command mkfs.

Thanks/Regards
