/usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck error
Ping Ai
When I run /usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck, I get an entry on errpt with the
message
"The file system type may not be any."
Could someone tell me what it means please? This system was migrated
from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.2. The rootvg was mirrored (except for
/dev/hd7). I unmirrored the logical volumes before doing migration.

Has there previously been an FS of any kind on hd7? If so,
you could try to overwrite the LV with dd to erase any super-
block information that might be left.

I'd simply rmlv hd7 and recreate it. Takes one or two minutes only and can
be done while the system is up and running. And neither mirror your
dumpdevice (only (!) exception is hd6) nor compress your dump if you want to
analyse it / have it analysed later.

I've tried that, but it still comes up with the same errpt message
when i do a dumpcheck. I've tried changing the dump device to hd6 -
same thing also.
Thanks

Do I get you corretcly that you created a lv of type sysdump from
scratch and you still get the error message "The file system type may
not be any." when you try to make this lv your primary or secondary
sysdump device?
Ping Ai
I can set the lv as my sysdump device, but when I check the using
/usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck command, i keep getting the error in errpt.
I've removed and made a new lv (also named hd7) with type sysdump I've
tried putting paging space as my primary and null as secondary. I've
tried to change the always allow dump to FALSE. Any suggestions please
? :)
Many many thanks

Did you upgrade to ML05 yet? If not, try at least the following APAR:
IY60874 Abstract: dump size/buffer size fixes
IY60874 Symptom Text:
Platform dumps can fail producing a PLAT_DUMP_ERR
error log entry indicating invalid parameter or
invalid dump.

anymore :)
I have another server running on AIX 5.2 ML4 and I don't get that when
I run dumpcheck. So it never crossed my mind that it was due to
oslevel.
Thank you very very much :D
