VxFS v6.0.01 Fails on RHEL 6.3
Created: 23 Oct 2012 | Updated: 04 Dec 2012 | 10 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I am unable mount the VxVM volumes with VxDF file ystems on RHEL 6.3 (2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64).
# rpm -q VRTSvxfs
VRTSvxfs-6.0.100.200-RHEL6.x86_64
# mount /vol01
UX:vxfs mount.vxfs: ERROR: V-3-22168: Cannot open portal device: No such file or directory
UX:vxfs mount.vxfs: ERROR: V-3-25255: mount.vxfs: You don't have a license to run this program
# lsmod | grep vx
vxspec 3366 8
vxio 3763980 1 vxspec
vxdmp 408656 5 vxspec,vxio
# ls -la /dev/vxportal
ls: cannot access /dev/vxportal: No such file or directory
I have installed the latest patch available. Please help.
Thanks

Have you checked licenses to check vxfs is licensed:
If you have entered licences
If you are using built in eval licences (keyless licencing):

You have not specified any options with this command: 'mount /vol01'.
Does this mean that you have an entry for this mount point in fstab? If so, please show us the entry in fstab.

Thanks for your comments.
I have since uninstalled completely and installed v6.0.2 (released 2 days ago). During the installation I received this message:
This is before I selected licensing option. The error in the install log reads:
Looks like the VxFS rpm is the same as in v6.0.1.
The keyless license reads:
vxlicrep is also attached.
During configuration I noticed:

It looks like the RHEL 6.3 support is still not fixed as commented in https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/vxf...
Yes, /vol01 is in fstab:
Much appreciated.
I lost my last posting; trying again....
Since then I have uninstalled SFHA completely and installed the latest 6.0.2 (release couple of days ago).
Error during installation:

It is licensed (see attachement):
Yes, it is in fstab:
It looks like a compatibility issue as in http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/vxfs-fails-....
Can Symantec please confirm that SFHA v6.0.2 is supported on RHEL 6.0 Update 3? If not is there a patch for VxFS?
Much appreciated.
The spam filter has quarantined some of your posts. I can see them, but cannot release them. Have asked Admins.

SFHA 6.0.1 is compatible with RHEL 6.3, there was incompatibility issue with the previous release, 6.0. I have done a couple of installs with no issues like the above.
One item that is of interest is that your kernel version is uprev form the one on my test system so am guessing you are on a later release/patch.
Let me dig into this and report back

Update - I did a test using that a very recent RHEL update (kernel 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64) and also hit a issue with VxFS 6.0.1. We are still investigating, I will update when I have more information

Update - There is a compatibility issue with that kernel update and the VxFS kernel components of Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 6.0.1. Symantec are investigating.
