question about fsadm

[王曦_1]

hi expert,
when i user fsadm to increase the size of filesystem,
but when i type "fsadm -vxfs -b 3246391296 /var", i got "fsadm: You don't have a license to run this program", what is it means, is there some files control the license of the fsadm, and how can i add the root to the license file??
thank you very much!
by the way, what is the unit of the number after "-b" option ?

Your trying to execute the on-line JFS program option(s) that has a separate licence(which must be purcahsed). Unless the program is installed (OnLine JFS) you cannot extend a filesystem on the fly. You must unmount it first.

The -b option is 1024k blocks

HI
fsdam will work for simple maintanis of filesystem or disk. to increase the file system size u need to buy licenses which will come along with Online JFS 3.0 or 3.3 You can increae the logical volume size by lvextend though

thanks u very much!!!

a.) Its fsadm -F vxfs ...

b.) You need to call HP licensing since you're probably using online JFS 3.3 and this will require a passcode of some kind and for you to enable the product.

Any patches "unconfigured"?
swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v -i -e configured -e \*

if so...
swconfig PHXX_#####

Check for vxadv in /stand/system.

grep -i vxadv /stand/system.

Notorius problem with PHKL_18543 and online JFS:

If PHKL_18543 is installed on a system that does not have
Advanced VxFS, then the Advanced VxFS driver 'vxadv' will be
commented out of the /usr/conf/master.d/vxfs file as follows:

* Disabling AdvJournalFS: vxadv vxadvc 10 100 ...

The following note will be logged in the swagent.log file:

NOTE: "AdvJournalFS" product is now disabled. Any vxadv driver in
the system file will be ignored. If you install the 11.00
version of "AdvJournalFS", you must again install this patch,
PHKL_18543.
(The reinstall* options must be set to false - the default.)

What I forgot to mention is that the fileysystem will need to be extended using the traditional method.

# umount /myfilesystem
# lvextend -L /dev/myvg/mylvol
# extendfs /dev/myvg/rmylvol
# mount /dev/myvg/mylvol /myfilesystem

If there are any processes that are asssociated with the filesystem it will not unmount. These will need to be terminated.

yeah, something funky with the server just then.
