File System creation syntax

[nyck]

Hello,

Can someone remind me of the syntax to create a jfs2 file system on a previously defined logical volume please?

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick, run this

crfs -v jfs2 -m /<mount point> -d <lvname> -Ay

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,

I have created the logical volume and the file system and it looks like this:-

lsvg -l appvg
appvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 2 2 open/syncd N/A
fslv02 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /appl
fslv03 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /data
fslv04 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /billing01
fslv05 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /billing02
fslv06 jfs2 16 32 2 open/syncd /CMMdb
lv_realtime jfs2 80 80 1 open/syncd /realtime

For lv_realtime there is just the on PV, how do I remedy this one?

Hmmm,
It seems like they are mirrored, do this

lsvg -p appvg



It should show you two PV's

now do this
lslv -l lv_realtime

This should tell you which disk the LV is using

Oops, the above post is incomplete.

It seems like they are mirrored, do this

lsvg -p appvg
It should show you two PV's

now do this

lslv -l lv_realtime
This should tell you which disk the LV is using.

If you see only one disk, then you are one step away from what you need
run
mklvcopy lv_realtime 2 hdiskX (hdiskX=the disk NOT seen in the output of lslv command)

as a safeguard do
syncvg -l lv_realname

If your lslv -l lv_realname output show you two disk, then 1st you have to migrate the LV to anyone of the disk and then make a second copy of it.
migratepv -l lv_realtime <source PV> <Destination PV>
and then run mklvcopy command.

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,

I have now run this and all seems fine:-

lslv -l lv_realtime
lv_realtime:/realtime
PV COPIES IN BAND DISTRIBUTION
hdisk1 080:000:000 15% 000:012:068:000:000
hdisk2 080:000:000 15% 000:012:068:000:000

lsvg -l appvg
appvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 2 2 open/syncd N/A
fslv02 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /appl
fslv03 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /data
fslv04 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /billing01
fslv05 jfs2 32 64 2 open/syncd /billing02
fslv06 jfs2 16 32 2 open/syncd /CMMdb
lv_realtime jfs2 80 160 2 open/syncd /realtime

What would you say about the following setup:-

lslv -l ora1
ora1:/ora1
PV COPIES IN BAND DISTRIBUTION
hdiskpower1 052:000:000 53% 000:028:000:010:014
hdiskpower3 025:000:000 16% 000:004:020:000:001
hdiskpower4 043:000:000 93% 000:040:003:000:000
[lonibm1] # lsvg -l oracle
oracle:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
ora1 jfs2 120 120 3 open/syncd /ora1
ora2 jfs2 200 200 3 open/syncd /ora2
ora3 jfs2 120 120 3 open/syncd /ora3
ora4 jfs2 120 120 3 open/syncd /ora4
loglv01 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A

The above is not mirrored, it is just a LV stripped across three (3) PV's, we generally do this because we don't want a single disk to be hit very hard and the PP's are distribution uniformly across the PV's

And I assume the same will be for the other three LVs (ora2, ora3 and ora4).

Make sense?
