[Filosofo]

Hi,
I try to mount a File System create on 11.11 vxfs version 3 on a new system with HP-UX 11.23 with a 6 version of vxfs.
I recive this error:

UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-21270: ..... disk image is incompatible with this system

What can I do to mount the file system on 11.23 OS.

thanks for your helps

regards

Filo

Shalom,

Have you run newfs on this filesystem?

Normal method.

lvcreate
lvextend
newfs - extendfs if extending an existing lv.

check /etc/fstab for a template for setting up proper mounting of newly created fs.

Without loosing data?

May be vxconvert will help you.
What does following say?
fstyp -v /dev/vgxx/lvolx
mkfs -m /dev/vgxx/rlvolx

On 11.11 system, the original file system, command's output are:

mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=8192,version=3,inosize=256,logsize=256,largefiles

and

vxfs
version: 3
f_bsize: 8192
f_frsize: 8192
f_blocks: 13959168
f_bfree: 8261553

Hi Filo,

Nothing older than layout version 4 is supported on 11.23 as per this link.

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/HP-UX-Admin/2005-06/0028.html

In that case upgrading layout version to atleast 4 is required for making use of this file system on new system. This can be achived by use of vxupgrade command.

HTH,

I think only vxconvert seems to be of some use. I have never used it though. What does HP say about it? Also as you might be knowing, other options would be backup and restore-simple.

Hi Filo,

lets assume your LV is /dev/vg01/lvol1

Use the following command to upgrade to version 6 on you 11.23 machine,

#vxupgrade -n 6 -r /dev/vg01/rlvol1

After the above operation succeeds, go ahead and mount the FS.

First do a vxupgrade to version 4 (the lowest supported version on 11.23), and then mount it on the 11.23 system.

It is recommended that file systems with vxfs version lower than 4 has to be vxupgrade'd before being mounted on 11.23.

HTH,
Sanjay

Hi Filo,

That command is to be on on the 11.11 system. 11.23 system is already running version 6.
