mount options fail

[Todd McDaniel_1]

I have a bit of a problem... I have a Keystone RP8400, 11.11 system with the latest patches loaded for JFS and vxfs version 4.

I get errors when I try to implement mincahce=direct,convosync=direct... I get error saying "vxfs mount: option not supported on this version of vxfs." I dont have oracle loaded as yet but that shouldnt matter for mount options, at least I dont think it should.

I have several other systems that are configured with these options and they have no problems with these mount options, namely Superdome, a second Keystone, and several N-4000s

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Are you sure the options are spelled correctly in the fstab. You have mispelled mincache above.

There is a typo in mincache.

No I copied the script from another box and changed the mountpoint info, so i dont think it is that. Besides I even went thru and added options 1 at a time to find out what it was failing on.

Hi Todd:

The problem is that these options are only available with the Online JFS license.

James,

I will check and see that I have the license loaded. If not I will post back and let you know what the fix was. BTW, This is a new box and I have just received it for production so I assumed they had it loaded properly.

I will check with my platform specialist and let you know.

Hi (again) Todd:

For OnlineJFS 3.3 on 11.11 you need product B3929CA or B5118CA and a codeword to unlock it from the Application CDROM.

Mount the CD on '/cdrom' and do:

# swinstall -s /cdrom OnlineJFS

No reboot is needed and you can verify that OnlineJFS is enabled with:

# /sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef

This should return: "System is licensed for features Full_VxFS HP_DMAPI".

Regards!
