Hi,
I have been loaned a 1000A alpha Tru64 UNIX machine as part of our
migration from Alpha NT to Alpha UNIX.
(My current unix knowledge is only in Sco Unixware and Data General dgux)
I am having a problem trying to initiate LSM. This is a first time setup on
a 1000A running Digital UNIX V4.0F (Rev. 1229).
First of all, I checked to ensure LSM is loaded:
# sysconfig -s lsm
lsm: loaded and configured
# sysconfig -m lsm
lsm: dynamic
# sysconfig -q lsm
lsm:
lsm_rootdev_is_volume = 0
lsm_swapdev_is_volume = 0
max-vol = 1024
But, when I reboot the unix server, I cannot see any LSM processes running.
The Hardware setup of the 1000A is 1 FDD, 6 HDD and a CD-Rom.
· rfd0c is the FDD.
· rz0 is the system disk (4Gb RZ29B),
· rz1 will be the system mirror (4Gb RZ29B) - if I ever get LSM
working!,
· rz2 and rz3 are RZ1DB-CS 9Gb data disks,
· rz4 is the CD-Rom,
· rz5 is a RZ1EF-CB 19Gb data disk
· rz6 is a RZ2EA-LA 19gb data disk.
This is how the system disk was setup for me (on rz0):
# cat /etc/fstab
root_domain#root / advfs rw 0 0
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
usr_domain#usr /usr advfs rw 0 0
/dev/rz0b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
spare_domain#spare /spare advfs rw 0 0
(rz0a is the root partition, rz0b is swap, rz0g is /usr and rz0h is /spare)
I wanted to setup LSM to make an unused disk (rz2) the rootdg, so I can
later encapsulate the system disk (after initial setup of LSM).
# volsetup rz2
LSM: Creating Logical Storage Manager device special files.
lsm:voliod: cannot open /dev/voliod: No such device or address
Approximate maximum number of physical disks that will be managed by LSM ?
[10]
8
Initialise vold and the root disk group:
lsm:vold: Error: cannot open /dev/volconfig: No such device or address
Fatal errors prevent /usr/sbin/volsetup from continuing.
Stop.
(I then tried it on rz2a to see if it made a difference, but it did not)
I then checked to see if the /dev files existed. They do.
# ls -l /dev/v*
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 0 Jan 11 10:09 /dev/volconfig
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 1 Jan 11 10:09 /dev/volevent
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 3 Jan 11 10:09 /dev/volinfo
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 2 Jan 11 10:09 /dev/voliod
#
I then tried the alternate method by initialising LSM with individual
commands
# volinstall
LSM: Creating Logical Storage Manager device special files.
# vold -m disable
lsm:vold: Error: cannot open /dev/volconfig: No such device or address
# voldctl mode
mode: not-running
The following 3 lines are in /etc/inittab
lsmr:s:sysinit:/sbin/lsmbstartup -b </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 ##LSM
lsm:23:wait:/sbin/lsmbstartup -n </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 ##LSM
vol:23:wait:/sbin/vol-reconfig </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 ##LSM
I am now stuck. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
