Error encountered in creating a filesystem

EngnrRG · May 18, 2011, 12:22am

Hi experts,

Need help on the below error please.
I am creating Filesystem and it fails with the below errors

What exactly did you select in smit (can check smit.script and smit.log for the issued commands)?
What OS level is it ( oslevel -s ? Seems there is problems reading and writing to the ODM. No clue why it talks about the TCB.

Did it work ever before? If yes, what has been changed on the system?

Just to make sure it is not some effect of Secure by Default (available from AIX 6.1 or higher) - could you also post the output of

odmget -q "attribute like SbD_STATE" PdAt

if there is any? Thanks.

Hi zaxxon,

 
#  oslevel -s
6100-04-04-1014

 
#  odmget -q "attribute like SbD_STATE" PdAt
0518-506 odmget: Cannot open object class PdAt
        Check path name and permissions.

but if i am a single user, i can see the details below

 
$ odmget -q "attribute like SbD_STATE" PdAt
PdAt:
        uniquetype = ""
        attribute = "SbD_STATE"
        deflt = "sbd_disabled"
        values = ""
        width = ""
        type = ""
        generic = ""
        rep = ""
        nls_index = 0

-Rhea-

zaxxon · May 18, 2011, 4:52am

Ok, at least it is no Secure by Default installation. On the other hand for some reason your root user is not able to access the ODM while another simple user can.
Looks like some strange permission problem. Is there any permissions being set with RBAC?

What about the other questions I asked? :
Did it work ever before? If yes, what has been changed on the system?

EngnrRG · May 18, 2011, 5:07am

No, I just actually built it a few days ago...i am just creating the FS today...
I didnt change any configurations on the systems...

and i was just checking

 
#  bootlist -m normal -o
-
-
-
-

doesnt show the bootlist...

zaxxon · May 18, 2011, 5:25am

That's not good.

Issue following please:

lsvg rootvg

lsvg -l rootvg

lspv| grep rootvg

for a in $(lspv| awk '/rootvg/ {print $1}'); do lsdev -Ccdisk -l $a; done

ls -la /etc/objrepos

Ok, so your rootvg looks intact, and it is placed on a virtual disk, I guess being supplied by a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS). Also your ODM files are there, which is a good sign but must be the case anyway, since the other user was able to retrieve information from it.

You didn't write yet, what smit.log and smit.script contained when you issued the failing option from SMIT.

Try if the following works as root:

bootlist -m normal hdisk0
bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0

If you have additional boot devices but hdisk0 add them seprated by spaces to the bootlist command.
Post any error messages from the commands.

Try following:

I meant you to write the bootlist, not just show it. Nevermind I think I know what is wrong:
In the environment of root there is ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos missing. I don't know how this could happen, but you should assure, that you have following entry in /etc/environment :

ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos

After this root should be able to do the things you want to do. Don't forget to write your bootlist:

bootlist -m normal hdisk0
savebase
