Full Discussion: Solaris and vxvm ( really old versions)
Operating Systems Solaris Solaris and vxvm ( really old versions) Post 302753119 by Martincorneuk on Tuesday 8th of January 2013 11:28:38 AM
Old 01-08-2013
I'm now having an issue with Solaris ..... I'm running off my root mirror and have done a vxdiskadm option 4 on the root disk .... I've replaced the rootdisk with an 18gb disk and need to vxdiskadm option 5 back in, however .... When I try to run vxdiskadm I get
Code:
/usr/bin/vxdiskadm: Cannot create lock file /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK

:0/
If I go to /var/spool/locks it's in there
Code:
rm /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK
rm: /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK not removed: No such device or address


If I do a pwd
Code:
/usr/bin/pwd: No such device or address

So it looks like a Solaris issue to me....
Checked in /usr/bin and pwd is in there ok.....

Any suggestions?

It's gone from bad to worse.
After investigation, a general consensus was the 2.5.1 was not very good and often required a reboot ..... which I duly did .... uh-oh....

The system failed to boot from the rootmirror.
I put the original rootdisk back in. Failed to boot.
It wont even boot from a cdrom .... just getting Fast Access Data MMU Miss errors....

Was supposed to be an easy job :0/
at the moment it's goosed

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)

NAME

       snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port.  If port is not specified, defaults to 119.  If server is
       also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.

       You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

FILES CREATED

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
	      Directory where articles will be stored.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
	      Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
	      Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port.	The value is initialized to 0.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
	      If server is specified, is a symlink to  /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does  not  already
	      exist.  If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created.  See also snsend.
