Description
Error Message
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
Cause
From the OS messages identified the vxfs filesystems were trying to mount before vxfs modules are loaded.
Resolution
In SFHA 6.2.1, the service "vxvm-fstab-automount" is not enabled. Hence we have to copy the missing file manually from /etc/vx/systemd/vxvm-fstab-automount.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ and enable vxvm-fstab-automount.service.
Perform below steps to successfully mount the VxFS filesystems during boot.
# cp -f /etc/vx/systemd/vxvm-fstab-automount.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/
# systemctl enable vxvm-fstab-automount.service
# systemctl --system daemon-reload
The changes has been implemented in 7.1.0.400 patch onwards which could automatically call for local vxfs mounts present in fstab.
Note:
Please note Veritas engineering has further enhanced the intergration between Veritas Storage Foundation / InfoScale with Linux systemd by utilizing the udev triggers. As a result vxvm-fstab-automount.service will be obsoleted. Please refer to the following article for more details on the udev integration.
