Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, Second Edition, December 2008

To enable large files on a file system that was created without the largefiles option

◆

Use the fsadm command as follows:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles \

/mount_point

Note: Make sure the applications and tools you use can handle large files

before enabling the large file capability. Applications and system

administration utilities can experience problems if they are not large file

aware.

Multi-volume support

The multi-volume support feature enabled by VxFS Version 6 disk layout allows

several volumes to be represented by a single logical object, known as a volume

set. The vxvset command can be used to create and administer volume sets in

Veritas Volume Manager.

VxFS's multi-volume support feature can be used with volume sets. There are two

VxFS commands associated with multi-volume support:

■ fsapadm - VxFS allocation policy administration utility

■ fsvoladm - VxFS device administration utility

See the Veritas File System Administrator's Guide.

Mounting a file system

After creating a VxFS file system, mount the file system using the mount command.

By default, the command tries to enable Quick I/O. If Quick I/O is not installed or

licensed, no error messages are displayed unless you explicitly specify the mount

option. If necessary, you can turn the Quick I/O option off at mount time or you

can remount the file system with the option.

Before mounting a file system, review the following:

■ A file system must exist in order to be mounted.

■ DBAs must be logged in as root to mount a file system.
