Online JFS inoperable after upgrad

[Joe Robinson_2]

I've recently upgraded from 11.00 to 11.11; I just discovered Online JFS is not working. Can someone let me know what steps are necessary in order to upgrad the Online JFS to work w/ HPUX 11.11?

Thanks for your prompt help (note...it's my primary Oracle file system, which figures...)

You must install the appropriate version of ONLINE JFS for HP-UX 11.11. You should have codewords to unlock this from the applications CD.

Assuming you are under maintenance then you need to request new codewords and install OnlineJFS for 11.11. Check your licenses by running "vxlicense -p".

Is OnlineJFS installed?
# swlist -l product OnlineJFS

Should see:
OnlineJFS B.11.11 Online features of the VxFS File System


Are we licensed for OnlineJFS?
# vxlicense -p

Should see:
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Feature name: HP_OnlineJFS [50]
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Number of licenses: 1 (non-floating)
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Expiration date: Sun Jun 24 02:00:00 2007 (1065.8 days from now)

Check to see if vxportal in kernel:

# kmsystem -q vxportal

Should see:

Module Configured Loadable
=================================================
vxportal Y -


Check device:
# lsdev | grep 97

Should see:
97 97 vxportal unknown


Is /dev/vxportal corrupt?
# ll /dev/vxportal

Should be like:
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 97 0x000000 Nov 15 2000 /dev/vxportal

If missing or incorrect permissions:
# rm /dev/vxportal
# mknod /dev/vxportal c 97 0
# chmod 644 /dev/vxportal


If vxportal was not "Configured" in the kernel (from kmsystem command), then rebuild kernel



If none of that applied, try:

/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef -e online
