ingite-ux mount_vxfs problem

[Dan Baker_2]

I am trying to do a golden image install of HP-UX 11.0 onto a B2000. I am running Ignite version B.3.5.89 on the server. When I boot from the 11.00 CD (every release I have), I get the expected version mismatch message.

After laying out filesystems, setting system parameters, etc, I get the following error:
"Could not mount VxFS "/dev/vg00/lvol3" at d_cfg_mnt_sb61": Invalid argument (errno = 22)."

lvol3 is of course, /

Ignite then offers to push a shell for me. I can't find the mount executable or any other useful tool.

How can I force this mount??

Dan,

Did you install all the pax patches?

I have the following pax patches installed. How would this affect the problem of being unable to mount VxFS filesystems?
PHCO_16885 1.0 pax(1) restoring hard and soft links
PHCO_20416 1.0 pax(1) cumulative patch

Just trying to cover all bases.

Do not install PHCO_26422 or its 11.00 equivalent. This upgrades pax to pack up files up to 8 Gig. pax_iux the guy that unpacks on the ignite client can't unpack the files.

After doing some troubleshooting, I found that /sbin/fs/vxfs does not exit in the miniroot. Where is this loaded from (from the CD, or from the server)? This is why I can mount an hfs filesystem, but not a vxfs one.

Is the install CD broken?
