Hi All


I have the below configuration after installation of veritas 4.1 on Solaris 10

swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/dmp
swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/rdmp


But what I need is

dmpfs 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/dmp
dmpfs 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

I am very new to Veritas
Pls.... its urgent

Thanks

Hi,

not sure what you did, or what was going wrong, but this looks very strange to me.

It should look like this:

swap 2200112 0 2200112 /var/run
swap 2200112 0 2200112 /tmp

for your swap partitions.

And

dmpfs 5233664 0 5233664 0% /dev/vx/dmp
dmpfs 5233664 0 5233664 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

for multipathing devices. dmpfs was introduced to get rid of older limitations on number of devices.

Swap should never point to /dev/SOMETHING.

Could you please describe what you exactly did? Did you check your installation logfiles? Veritas installer will do the following steps:
vxiod set 10
mount -F tmpfs dmpfs /dev/vx/dmp
mount -F tmpfs dmpfs /dev/vx/rdmp
vxddladm start eventsource
vxconfigd -m disable
vxdctl enable
vxdctl initdmp
rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db

There is no point where VxVM tries to mount swap space on /dev/SOMETHING especially NOT /dev/vx/dmp.

Hi thanks for reply

below is the whole procedure which I do
1) Install VxVM License
2) Install VxVM
3) Configuring VxVM(whether to use Enc based naming(I opt no),Defualt dg name (Iopt mydg)
4) Whole of the above installation completed with no error.
5) Now out put of command df -h is

swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/dmp
swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

6) Now umount /dev/vx/dmp
umount /dev/vx/rdmp

7) Again manully mount as
/usr/sbin/mount -f tmpfs dmpfs /dev/vx/dmp
/usr/sbin/mount -f tmpfs dmpfs /dev/vx/rdmp

BUT STILL OUT PUT OF df -h is same, I mean

swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/dmp
swap 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

not as

dmpfs 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/dmp
dmpfs 65G 0K 65G 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

VERITAS FILE SYSTEM ALSO INSTALLED

Hi,

i am not possible to explain this behaviour. Why don't you open a call at Symantec Support? Did you really required dmpfs?
