log form and chfs error

[sjcrane]

We are formatting a jfs2log and are getting the following error:

mklv -y' jfsloga' -t' jfs2log' datavg2 1 hdiskpower17

logform -V jfs2 /dev/jfsloga

stldb2a:root/)>chfs -a log=jfsloga /db2_fs23b
chfs: jfsloga is not a jfs2 log type


ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Also FYI,

I answered "NO" to

logform -V jfs2 /dev/jfsloga

logform /dev/jfsloga
logform: destroy /dev/rjfsloga ?n

 

[sbrews]

is there any reason for those (oddly) places single quotes?

mklv -y[COLOR=#ff0000]'[/color] jfsloga[COLOR=#ff0000]'[/color] -t[COLOR=#ff0000]'[/color] jfs2log[COLOR=#ff0000]'[/color] datavg2 1 hdiskpower17

I would try removing them and re-issuing the command - because it otherwise appears to be correct.

That was what smitty showed after I made the lv with smitty, all the rest are on the command line and I figured out what was wrong... We need to use the raw device and destroy the data:

mklv -y' jfsloga' -t' jfs2log' datavg2 1 hdiskpower17


logform -V jfs2 /dev/jfslogb


chfs -a log=/dev/rjfslogb /db2_fs23b


Thanks anyway......

yeah, smitty tends to throw in lots of single quotes. Unless specifically needed, I usually omit them when typing at the command print - just makes for easier reading/verifying of what you just entered.
