Resizing with OnlineJFS

[christian_derek]

Hi,

I'm running a hpux foundation v2 11.23 on a rx7620 with a virtual array 7110. I did install the onlineJFS, but I was unable to resize my logicial volume. I saw that I should enable the software on the internet, but when I'm trying /sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef -a -e online, I'm getting mismatch : command version 35 - kernel version 33.

here is the output of the vxlicrep
VERITAS License Manager vxlicrep utility version 3.02.006

any idea?

Thanks,

I am not sure if you have to license HP's OnlineJFS product with veritas licence manager. As I do not have any integrity servers or 11.23 servers in my farm I can not speak at any level of certainity but on 11.11, if your codeword enables you to install online jfs from the distribution media, you are good to go.

if you can elaborate what you mean by "I was not able to resize my logical volume" by explicityly posting your commands and the error messages you got back from the server, you may get a better response.

[christian_derek]

I tried to resize it with the sam utility, so I got an error saying that it was unable to umount the /opt.

Thanks,

[Mel Burslan]

Try doing it the "hard" way, i.e. from command line as follows:

assuming you want to increase the size of your /opt filesystem to 8000MB. modify the number according to your case. note that, 8000MB or roughly 8GB is the final size of /opt not the additional space you want to allocate.

lvextend -L 8000 /dev/vg00/lvol5
fsadm -F vxfs -b 8000M /opt

this should accomplish your task. If you get any errors in the process, please post the error messages for further help

Note lvol5 is the default logical volume for /opt but yours might be different. check before proceeding with the first command above and modify the lvol if necessary

[Sandman!]

post the output of "vxlicense -p"

[christian_derek]

the hard way did work,

I notified that there is 2 versions of onlineJFS install, the default one is the one that return and error when I do the vxenablef, so I have /sbin/fs/vxfs and vxfs4.1.

Do I need to uninstall a version?

Is it possible that sam point to the wrong version.

Thank you again

[christian_derek]

the output of vxlicense show ...

# vxlicense -p
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: No valid license installed

But, I was able to do the lvextend and increase the size of my /opt directory?

Thanks,

[Mel Burslan]

I think, if you want to replace the LVM you are currently running with VxVM, then you need to look into the vxlicence business. Otherwise you should be okay.

[NPD USER · Accepted solution]

I had the exact same problem. Command line execution worked, but NOT from within SAM.

Seems this is recognized in patch PHCO_34208 :

JAGaf79629 ) When trying to extend a filesystem with SAM and OnlineJFS B.11.23.0505, the following error message is displayed: =============================================
Executing the following command:
\C/usr/sbin/vxlicense -p >/dev/null 2>&1 && (
/sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef | /usr/bin/fgrep -i
Full_VxFS )\C
Command completed with exit status 1.
=============================================


I have NOT applied and tested this patch yet, but it may solve this problem.
(Mind you, it doesn't really explain what the problem is.)

[IT_2007]

use /sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef to enable it and then run lvextend and fsadm to make it work.

[christian_derek]

Hi,

Here is the answers I'm getting trying to run the vxenablef ...

# /sbin/fs/vxfs/vxenablef
mismatch : command version 35 - kernel version 33

I'm downloading the patch recommend in the previous post, I will see.

Thanks,

[christian_derek]

Hi,

I just installed the phco_34208, everything looks great, I was able to resize a logical volume within SAM, but I did get an error at the startup of the logical volume option...

Encountered an error. SAM cannot recognize disk layout version 6.

But, it still worked.

thanks,
