vxfs version for mincache=direct mount option

[Brian Lee_4]

I tried to use "minacche=direct" mount option but I got the error message below.
What vxfs version should I install into the system?

In the box, HP-UX 11.0 and B.11.00 HP OnLineJFS (Advanced VxFS)are installed.

vxfs mount: option not supported on this version of vxfs.

I think that onlinejfs is not activated.

Do you have vxadv in the /stand/system ?

Massimo

There is no vxadv drive in Kernel drive list but it has only vxbase kernel drive.

[Massimo Bianchi]

That's it.

OnlineJFS is NOT active in your system, even it is installed.

Now, the real question is: why isn't it in the kernel ?

Check the status of your fileset...

swlist -l fileset -a state


and see if you have anything NOT "configured"...

Hi Brian,

You need Advanced JFS 3.3 to use that mount option.

Rgds,

They are all configured like the followings.
#swlist -l fileset -a state\

# AdvJournalFS
AdvJournalFS.AJFS-ENG-A-MAN configured
AdvJournalFS.AJFS-JPN-E-MAN configured
AdvJournalFS.AJFS-JPN-S-MAN configured
AdvJournalFS.VXFS-ADV-KRN configured
AdvJournalFS.VXFS-ADV-RUN configured

How to check JFS version ?

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Brian,

Check the JFS version with

fstyp -v /dev/vg_name/lv_name

If the results are:

version: 3 => V3.1
version: 4 => V3.3

HTH,
Jeff

How can I get JFS 3.3 ?
Is it in applcation cd set ?
I have 3.3 version for HP-UX 11.0 but don't have it for 11i.
