hi,

I have this problem on server itanium 11iV2
I have created a call, and solution is presence of a structur of filesystem on lvol swap !
if you execute fstyp or other you have a core

For resolve this problem, execute :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg00/rlvol2 bs=8192 count=10

hello sagar,

what are the entries in the /etc/fstab file for the /dev/vgroot/lvol2 ..and make sure that the entry is made in the file if required.

if it does not help then try the -x exclude option ..

For analyse, Hp will be executed

# tusc -a -e -f -v -o /tmp/fstyp.out fstyp /dev/vg00/rlvol2

Hi All
Thanks for the prompt answer
Steven : Below is my swapinfo -tam output
which show /dev/vgroot/lvol2 is not used.

Does this means my swap device has a problem .?


L-DERLYN : Do you mean to I need to execute teh command
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/vgroot/rvol2

Thanks again

Doesn't sound like it ever got configured. What does

lvlnboot -v show?

[Sagar Sirdesai]

Hi Michael .
lvlnboot -v output id as below.

It does show swap
Boot Definitions for Volume .So it means it is defined

Group /dev/vgroot:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 (0/1/1/0.0.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0, 0

Thank you

Sagar

hi,

execute this command only is fstyp /dev/vg00/lvol2 create a core

for me, i have this problem onserver itanioum, i have coorected this problem by this command , and i have a new problem on a server a few time.
On this server, i have tried and completed some save ignite , before have again this problem...

Very strange, I have received my server installed in manufactury, and i think that it's a problem with ignite installation ?
