Having problem with mounting in HPUX

UNIX HP-UX

Hi Gurus,

I'm using HP-UX B.11.23 system. I've been having some problem in mounting a filesystem that has been defined in /etc/fstab as shown below.

fstab entries:

/dev/vgsap/ora10264 /oracle/PRD/102_64 vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2
/dev/vgsap/orasapreog /oracle/PRD/sapreorg vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2
/dev/vgsap/oraarch /oracle/PRD/oraarch vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2

When I executed "mount -a", it display the following:

mount: /dev/vgsap/oraarch: No such file or directory
mount: /dev/vgsap/orasapreog: No such file or directory
mount: /dev/vgsap/ora10264: No such file or directory

I've tried to delete these directories from /oracle/PRD directory and recreate it. But it's still the same result.

FYI, my "vgsap" is actually located in my san disk, not on local disk.

Please kindly advice what could be the issue and how can it be fixed.

Thank you.

What your OS is saying is that it has no such filesystems to mount... ( not the mount points...).
I would start by looking if the VG is available :

vgdisplay vgsap
# If youre prompted:
vgdisplay: Volume group not activated.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "vgsap".
# OR
vgdisplay: Volume group "/dev/vgsap" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "vgsap".
# then find out why , else
#  it exist then
vgdisplay -v vgsap|more    
# now look if the logical volumes oraarch orasapreorg and ora10264 exist

Hi vbe,

Thanks for your response.

Sorry for late response as I was having some issues with my internet connection.

I will try your method and trouble shoot the problem.

Once again, thank you.

Cheers.
