Unable to extend /var

I have just reinstalled from CD an existing D390 with HPUX 11.0 64 bit.
I have installed the Online JFS (VXFS) product B3929BA along with all the VXFS
patches

I am unable to extend var and usr. Via sam it says I must unmount the
filesystem. I have verified that all filesets are configured.

When I try extending it via the command line I am told that Advanced VXFS needs
to be installed
Output of fsadm command
# /usr/lbin/fs/vxfs/fsadm -b 1536000 /var
/usr/lbin/fs/vxfs/fsadm: the -b option requires "HP OnLineJFS (Advanced Vxfs)"

Where do I go from here.
1. The package is installed
2. The package is configured
3. VXFS patches are installed.

Thanks for the help

Re: Unable to extend /var

I found the problem. I installed Advanced JFS after installing PHKL_18543. When this is done PHKL_18543 needs to be reinstalled. A partial install on PHKL_18543 is done which adds vxadv into the kernel.

Re: Unable to extend /var

helpfull command

swlist -l fileset -a state|pg
anything not listed as configured (as i expect that patch would of shown up as something other then configured) might be a problem

Had the same problem, both with
11i and 11.0.

It also happens when I Ignite a system.

Check the following man pages:

vxenablef
vxlicense

$ /sbin/vxlicense -p

vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Feature name: HP_OnlineJFS [50]

vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Site ID: 0

$ swlist | grep ONLine
B3929CA B.11.11 HP OnLineJFS

The software is installed,
the license is installed,
but it is not enabled.
