This issue has been solved. See solution.

I am using vmware - solaris 10 x86

not able to mount vxvm volume.

Troubleshoot so far

root@AAKASH # mount -f vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/mydg/vol01 /mnt
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-22168: Cannot open portal device: No such file or directory
grn
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-25255: mount: You don't have a license to run this program

 

root@AAKASH # pkginfo -l VRTSvxfs | grep STATUS
    STATUS:  completely installed
 
root@AAKASH # ls -lad /devices/pseudo/vxportal*
/devices/pseudo/vxportal*: No such file or directory
 
root@AAKASH # devfsadm -v -i vxportal
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: vxportal
exit status = 1
 
It seems vxportal driver not installed.

Got the solution

root@AAKASH # rem_drv vxportal
root@AAKASH
# rem_drv fdd
root@AAKASH
# add_drv -v -n vxportal
No 32-bit version of (vxportal) found; 64-bit version of this driver exists.
64-bit driver (vxportal) not loadable on 32-bit kernel.
exit status = 0
System configuration files modified but vxportal driver not loaded or attached.
Driver (vxportal) installed.
root@AAKASH
# add_drv -v -n fdd
No 32-bit version of (fdd) found; 64-bit version of this driver exists.
64-bit driver (fdd) not loadable on 32-bit kernel.
exit status = 0
System configuration files modified but fdd driver not loaded or attached.
Driver (fdd) installed.
 

Solution :- Storage foundation dump I have is for 64-bit version. Able to install on solaris 10 x86. driver installed for 64-bit after installing Storage fountdaion.

Strorage foundation for 32-bit required.

No 32-bit version

As from version 5, SF is only supported on 64-bit.

Extract from Release Notes (All documentation: https://vos.symantec.com/documents) :

Veritas Storage Foundation is supported on the following Solaris operating systems:
■ Solaris 8 (SPARC Platform 32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Solaris 9 (SPARC Platform 32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Solaris 10 (SPARC or x64 Platform 64-bit)

For information about the use of this product in a VMware Environment on Solaris x64, refer to http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/289033

 

 

Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows.
