Ignite issue on HPUX server

Yeah Vbe, looks like the same to me as well.
Prabhu, one more scenario is this. kfs_vxfs and mkfs_hfs do not handle blank
media properly on new OEM MO devices. It happens sometimes. Like, The blank media returns a Blank Check condition on a first read and read size of the buffer is zero. In that case, even #dd should be working fine. However, 0 bytes would have been read. An attempt to create a filesystem with newfs/mkfs may fail:
A workaround is to write null bytes to possible LVM and VxVM header locations as well to the very last block.
Here, possibility looks like a hardware issue. Let's just try these kinda things as well.

How can I convert the HFS to VxFS without an ignite server ?
Is this possible ?
thanks

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I can't find this particual problem. I've had an Ignite server running for years on a small internal network with images we load on daily basis. Tried to load two servers, L2000 and C3600 , both with same problem.

I am running HPUX and using WLM (workload manager). I want to write a script to fork CPUs to basically take CPUs from other servers to show that the communication is working and CPU licensing is working. Basically, I want to build a script that will use up CPU on a server. Any ideas? (2 Replies)

mkfs
MKFS(8) System Manager's Manual MKFS(8) NAME
mkfs - construct a file system SYNOPSIS
/sbin/mkfs [ -i bytes ] [ -s size ] [ -m gap ] [ -n modulus ] special DESCRIPTION
N.B.: file systems are normally created with the newfs(8) command. Mkfs constructs a file system by writing on the special file special. The size of the filesystem in logical blocks is specified by the -s size option. Logical blocks are 1K (2 sectors) under 2.11BSD. NOTE: The newfs(8) program's -s option is in units of sectors. Newfs(8) converts this to filesystem (logical) blocks for mkfs(8). The number of inodes is calculated based on the argument bytes to the -i option. The default is 4096. If more inodes are desired in a filesystem (there is an absolute maximum of 65500) then a lower value for bytes should be used, perhaps 3072 or even 2048. The flags -m gap and -n modulus determine the block interleaving of the freelist that will be constructed, where gap is the distance between successive 1024-byte blocks, and modulus is the number of blocks before the pattern repeats, typically one cylinder. The optimal values for these parameters vary with the speed and geometry of the disk, as well as the speed of the processor. Newfs(8) will calculate the correct values in almost all cases from the disklabel. SEE ALSO
