not mounting

[ABhi_2]

hi,
My box is running in hpux11.23 & its vxfs ver. is 5 , i imported a VG from a box 11.31, now its showing all lvms but its not mounting .giving error "unknown filesystem"
I think the problem is because of vxfs ver. how i can solve this issue ??
Is there any option to upgrade my vxfs from 5 to latest ver. ?

I susepct you mean that your default VxFS file layout version is 5, not that the version of the VxFS software is 5.0 (these are different things)

What version of VxFS do you actually have on the 11.23 box:

swlist -l product | grep -iE 'vxfs|jfs'

hi,
thanks for the reply.
Its 5.0

[Duncan Edmonstone]

what's 5.0?

Your version of the VxFS software?

or your version of the VxFS file layout?

As I said - these are 2 different things. I suspect if you *really* had VxFS 5.0 on an 11.23 box you wouldn't bve struggling to mount a volume from a 11.31 box (as 5.0 ius the latest version of VxFS)

So *please* post some command output so we are clear - what was the output of the command I gave in my last post?

Did you just install the EnableVxFS product from here on your 11.23 system that just had VxFS 3.5 on it:

I don't think this will actually upgrade you to VxFS 5.0

You should install VxFS 5.0 from a set of core OS DVDs or from an application DVD... assuming you have an up-to-date one, otherwise you'll need to order one through Software Update manager (look at the bar on the left of this web page)

please post fstyp -v out put of your file systems which you have problem.compare it with your any of the mounted file system.

[ABhi_2]

hi,

fstyp -v shows the following error
"unknown_fstyp (no matches)".

[Roopesh Francis_1]

you may check with mkfs -m also.if that also giving unknown output you need to install higher version of vxfs.

Thanks
