Ignite-UX Custom Configuration files

layout ver
sion for VxFS 4.1 is 6. If your system wll be running VxFS 3.5 you should not choose
layout version 6, as VxFS 3.5 cannot read VxFS version 6 file systems.
With Ignite-UX version C.6.9 (released September 2006) on HP-UX 11.23 you have the choice of
making a VxFS file system version 7. You must be careful when doing this as VxFS version 7 file
systems require you to be running VxVM/VxFS 5.0. Although Ignite-UX will allow you to set the
VxFS version to 7, it cannot detect if you are using VxVM/VxFS 5.0. A VxFS version 7 file system
when you are running VxVM/VxFS 4.1 or below will not be mountable. If you choose to create a
file system with VxFS version 7, you will see the following warning message during installation or
recovery:
WARNING: The version keyword for the VxFS file system
"/home" is set to "7". This requires loading the 5.0
Base-VXFS bundle onto your system. You must ensure this is
present otherwise your system will not boot successfully.
On Itanium-based servers running HP-UX 11.23 you must be very careful using vxupgrade to
upgrade the VxFS version of a file system. The bootloader on Itanium-based servers does not
understand VxFS version 6 file systems; upgrading the boot file system to VxFS version 6 will render
the system unable to boot. Ignite-UX will refuse to make the boot volume (usually /stand) VxFS
layout version 6 during a recovery - it will be forced to version 5 regardless of any configuration. If
you accidentally upgrade the VxFS version of the boot file system to version 6, you will need to
create a recovery archive and recover the system.
Except as noted above during a recovery, if you created a recovery archive with Ignite-UX version
C.6.3 or above and you are running HP-UX 11.23 or later, Ignite-UX can preserve the VxFS file
system version. To preserve the VxFS file system version use the version keyword. This keyword
must be associated with only a VxFS file system, and accepts a number as an valid value. The
version keyword does not accept default as a valid value. If you wish to use the default VxFS
version for a file system do not use the version keyword.
How do I…
There are many times when questions arise regarding the use of Ignite-UX and the many utilities
provided by the product. This section provides the answers to some of the more common questions
that can occur.
How do I remove the warning message that occurs when compiling a
kernel on PA-RISC systems?
When compiling a kernel in Ignite-UX on PA-RISC systems, it is likely that the following message
from the linker, when it is linking the kernel, will appear:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) Linker features were used that may not be supported
in future releases. The +vallcompatwarnings option can be used to display
more details, and the ld(1) man page contains additional information. This
warning can be suppressed with the +vnocompatwarnings option.
You can prevent this warning by adding the following to your custom configuration:
