Lucreate - „Cannot make file systems for boot environment“

Hello!
I'm trying to use LiveUpgrade to upgrade one "my" Sparc servers from Solaris 10 U5 to Solaris 10 U6. To do that, I first installed the patches listed on [Infodoc 72099|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-72099-1] and then installed SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur and SUNWluufrom the S10U6 sparc DVD iso. I then did:
--($ ~)-- time sudo env LC_ALL=C LANG=C PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH lucreate -n S10U6_20081207  -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d200:ufs

ERROR: Cannot make file systems for boot environment <S10U6_20081207>.
Well - why's that?
I can do a "newfs /dev/md/dsk/d200" just fine.
When I try to remove the incomplete S10U6_20081207 BE, I get yet another error :(
/bin/nawk: can't open file /etc/lu/ICF.2

Boot environment <S10U6_20081207> deleted.I get this error consistently (I ran the lucreate many times now).
lucreate used to work fine, "once upon a time", when I brought the system from S10U4 to S10U5.
Would anyone maybe have an idea about what's broken there?

  • Btrfs with different file systems for different mount points?

    Hey,
    I finally bought a SSD, and I want to format it to f2fs (and fat to boot on UEFI) and install Arch on it, and in my old HDD I intend to have /home and /var and  try btrfs on them, but I saw in Arch wiki that btrfs "Cannot use different file systems for different mount points.", it means I cannot have a / in f2fs and a /home in btrfs? What can I do? Better use XFS, ZFS or ext4 (I want the faster one)?
    Thanks in advance and sorry my english.

    pedrofleck wrote:Gosh, what was I thinking, thank you! (I still have a doubt: is btrfs the best option?)
    Just a few weeks ago many of us were worrying about massive data loss due to a bug introduced in kernel 3.17 that caused corruption when using snapshots. Because btrfs is under heavy developement, this sort of thing can be expected. That said, I have my entire system running with btrfs. I have 4 volumes, two raid1, a raid0 and a jbod. I also run rsync to an ext4 partition and ntfs. Furthermore I make offline backups as well.
    If you use btrfs make sure you have backups and make sure you are ready to use them. Also, make sure you check sum your backups. rsync has the option to use checksums in place of access times to determine what to sync.

  • Why does the default install make a partition for boot?

    The installer, if one lets it prepare one's hard drive, makes a partition for boot, and formats it as a second extended filesystem. I know that people debate the need for/desirability of a partition for boot, and I do not mean to revive that debate. Rather, I am interested in knowing why the Arch developers, like the developers of some other distributions, such as Gentoo, but unlike some, such as Slackware, call for a boot partition, with ext2fs file system, on a default install. Should Arch users interpret this as a recommendation? Also, why is the partition quite a bit larger (although tiny compared to the available space on hard drives these days) than seems necessary?
    Thanks.

    I've looked at a couple of books and a fair number of internet posts on this, and I must say that these responses are a good deal more concise and clear than what I have come across. I did find it interesting that the Slackware on-line manual doesn't make any effort to encourage it. On the other hand, what you guys are saying sounds sensible enough.
    I have both Arch and Gentoo running, sharing a boot partition, which I set at 50MB. I'm using 25% of it, which is why I ask about size - obviously not in terms of overall capacity, but in terms of need.
    Why not a lot less - say, even if one is considering dual boot, 20MB? And where do numbers like 32MB come from (the Arch, and indeed Gentoo, default, also referred to by T-Dawg)? Why not use round numbers?
    Does 32MB have some rational/irrational/astrological/lucky 7 connection to 64MB RAM, sort of like designating 128MB as swap instead of using numbers like 120MB or 125MB or 130MB?
    As you probably know, in Gentoo this stuff is done on the command line in fdisk, and I found it quite odd to be told in their manual to tell fdisk that the boot partition should be 32MB (assuming a single operating system) and swap should be 256MB, especially since fdisk and my hard drive took these numbers with a grain of salt and conspired to adjust them to slightly different numbers complete with decimals. Arch, on default, does the same.
    Then I find out that with two operating systems, I'm using about 13MB out of 50MB (or rather 49.9MB, as fdisk and my hard drive decreed)
    To change the subject a bit, I think that it is a good idea that the current version of Arch .08 would create, on the default track, a /home partition. There are some nice ideas in the install dialogue, including in the section on setting up a hard drive.

  • Confusion with OCFS2 File system for OCR and Voting disk RHEL 5, Oracle11g,

    Dear all,
    I am in the process of installing Oracle 11g 3 Node RAC database
    The environment on which i have to do this implementation is as follows:
    Oracle 11g.
    Red Hat Linux 5 x86
    Oracle Clusterware
    ASM
    EMC Storage
    250 Gb of Storage drive.
    SAN
    As of now i am in the process of installing Oracle Clusterware on the 3 nodes.
    I have performed these tasks for the cluster installs.
    1. Configure Kernel Parameters
    2. Configure User Limits
    3. Modify the /etc/pam.d/login file
    4. Configure Operating System Users and Groups for Oracle Clusterware
    5. Configure Oracle Clusterware Owner Environment
    6. Install CVUQDISK rpm package
    7. Configure the Hosts file
    8. Verify the Network Setup
    9. Configure the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
    9. Enable the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
    10. Install Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
    11.Verify the Installation of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
    12. Configure the OCFS2 (/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf)
    13. Configure the O2CB Cluster Stack for OCFS2
    BUT, here after i am a little bit confused on how to proceed further. The next step is to Format the disk and mount the OCFS2, Create Software Directories... so and so forth.
    I asked my system admin to provide me two partitions so that i could format them with OCFS2 file system.
    He wrote back to me saying.
    *"Is what you want before I do it??*
    */dev/emcpowera1 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
    */dev/emcpowera2 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
    *Are those big enough for you? If not, I can re-size and re-format them*
    *before I mount them on the servers.*
    *the SAN is shared storage. /dev/emcpowera is one of three LUNs on*
    *the shared storage, and it's 214GB. Right now there are only two*
    *partitions on it- the ones I listed below. I can repartition the LUN any*
    *way you want it.*
    *Where do you want these mounted at:*
    */dev/emcpowera1*
    */dev/emcpowera2*
    *I was thinking if this mounting techique would work like so:*
    *emcpowera1: /u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
    *emcpowera2: /u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
    *Let me know how you'd like them mounted."*
    Please recommend me what i should convey to him so that i can ask him to the exact same thing.
    My second question is, as we are using ASM, for which i am gonna configure ASM after clusterware installation, should i install Openfiler??
    Pls refer the enviroment information i provided above and make recommendations.
    As of now i am using Jeffery Hunters guide to install the entire setup. You think the entire install guide goes well with my enviroment??
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac11gr1_iscsi.html?rssid=rss_otn_articles
    Kind regards
    MK

    Thanks for ur reply Mufalani,
    You have managed to solve half part of my query. But still i am stuck with what kind of mount point i should ask the system admin to create for OCR and Voting disk. Should i go with the mount point he is mentioning??
    Let me put forth few more questions here.
    1. Is 280 MB ok for OCR and voting disks respectively??
    2. Should i ask the system admin to create 4 voting disk mount points and two for ocr??
    3. As mentioned by the system admin.
    */u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
    */u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
    Is this ok for creating the ocr and voting disks?
    4. Can i use OCFS2 file system for formating the disk instead of using them as RAW device!!?
    5. As u mentioned that Openfiler is not needed for Configuring ASM... Could you provide me the links which will guide me to create partition disks, voting disks and ocr disks!! I could not locate them on the doc or else were. I did find a couple of them, but was unable to identify a suitable one for my envoirement.

  • File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

    Hello,
    We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
    All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
    Please let me know if there is any query.
    Thanks.

    Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
    > Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    So you'd need to read the installation guides

  • Choosing a highly-available, networked file system for VM images

    What's the consensus here on highly-available, networked file systems for VM disk images?
    HA-NFS seems difficult and overly-complicated.
    GlusterFS doesn't seem to be well-suited for this task.
    Ceph/RADOS seems popular but there isn't much information available.
    OCFS2 seem to be suitable but there also isn't much information available.
    Eric P.
    Truckee, CA

    Actually, I still would suggest taking a closer look at what I had mentioned in your other thread:
    [Use OCFS2 to Share Local Storage (DAS) Across OVM Compute Nodes|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2438632&tstart=0]
    I still think that this would also solve thus thread. In the end, there is no how-to on how to build that up and you probably will need some help from some experts. I for myself, also didnÄt configure all of that on my own - i left ASM/Cluster part for some contractor to setup and focused on the iscsi-target/initiator setup along with the multipath setup on m VM servers.
    Maybe I will do a little write-up, once we get it all sorted out, since we do experience some strage behaviour of our storages boxes, while ASM hammers ob them quite hardly, but I suspect the raid controllers to blame and not the concept… ;)

  • Is there native file system for solaris cluster?

    As GFS for RedHat Linux and GPFS for AIX, is there any native file system for solaris cluster? Thanks for any infomation!

    What do you mean by 'native'?
    Oracle Solaris Cluster has a feature called the Global File System (or sometimes the Proxy File System). It allows UFS or Symantec VxFS to be mounted globally (on all cluster nodes simultaneously) in read/write mode. There is also a shared QFS option. All these are described in the documentation and in the book "Oracle Solaris Cluster Essentials".

  • RAID/ shared file system for clustering

    could somebody give me the h/w config,vendor etc.. used generally to
    provide failover to the shared file system for cluster of weblogic
    servers?

    Many of our customers use either a hardware or software raid to protect
    their filesystem for the cluster. Most of this is a vendor specific --
    you should check out the documentation for your specific platform.
    Another option is to not do a single filesystem for the cluster. They
    should be free self-explanatory -- you simply need to replicate all of
    the files, application code, etc. across the cluster in each individual
    server machine.

  • Every boot requires fsck. Makes file system read-only

    Suddenly when I booted my Arch I got a message saying that there was a corruption in my /home and /var directories. The same message suggested to pass fsck as solution. The booting process hanged there without entering to the emergency login. I took a live cd an executed a fsck in all my ext4 file system and “repaired” the problem.
    When I could log into the system if, for example, I want to write a file o do any operation (sudo for example) I get the message:
    sudo: unable to open /var/db/sudo/lola/0: Read-only file system
    If I reboot the PC again, the cycle begins again, this is: errors, asking for fsck, then, read-only FS.

  • Btrfs May Be The Default File-System For Fedora 16

    Having a somewhat odd interest in different types of filesystems, I'd thought I'd share this snippet I wondered across.
    Brought up on the Fedora development list are the plans for Btrfs in Fedora, which provides a target of Fedora 16 when EXT4 will be replaced by Btrfs as the default Linux file-system on new installations.
    Fedora was one of the first distributions to deploy support for installing the Linux distribution to a Btrfs root file-system, while the Moblin/MeeGo camp has already turned to it as the default file-system, and now Fedora may finally have everything ready and are comfortable with the state of this Oracle-sponsored file-system.
    With the intended Fedora deployment of Btrfs, they will also switch from using LVM as the disk's volume manager to instead relying upon the volume management abilities built into Fedora itself. Fedora / Red Hat developers have previously already worked on taking advantage of other Btrfs features, like snapshots, to provide system roll-back support by creating a copy-on-write snapshot prior to each yum/RPM package transaction.
    In order to meet the Fedora 16 Btrfs target, Btrfs support needs to be merged into Fedora's GRUB package (or a separate non-Btrfs /boot file-system must be used), Red Hat's Anaconda must be hooked in to properly utilize Btrfs and its volume management features, and the Fedora LiveCD must be re-worked a bit to handle Btrfs. Additionally, the fsck support for Btrfs must be completed. Oracle's Chris Mason is nearly (circa 90%) complete with this task.
    Before Fedora 16 arrives we still have Fedora 15 to worry about, which will continue to offer Btrfs as a file-system option while EXT4 remains the default.
    Canonical is also evaluating when to switch to the Btrfs file-system and we may see that move similarly happen for Ubuntu 11.10.
    This would seem to imply that fedora is giving btrfs the big thumbs up! They currently release twice a year, and  fedora 15 is (I believe) Due out this May, so it wouldnt be too wrong to surmise that come Christmas btrfs would be the standard install option. However, I have always thought of fedora as being a little bit of a testing bed for red hat enterprise, so reading between the lines, I am thinking they want to release btrfs to the wild, and get the bugs sqwished so it can be incorporated into red hat, which is a good thing all round, for all concerned.
    Quote blatantly ripped from phoronix.
    wikipedia btrfs
    kernel.org btrfs

    There are, as I understand it, three big issues keeping Btrfs from hitting its final "stable" release:
    1) No true fsck (as of November, a fix is due "any time now")
    2) The logic used for subvolumes (a sort of "virtual LVM" setup) in Btrfs is wholly different from that used in Ext*, JFS, NTFS, HFS, etc; because of this, there isn't yet a single script/program that will accurately display space consumption.  Instead, the user needs to run a couple different commands and extrapolate.  A little annoying, but it doesn't affect stability.
    3) A bug in the COW aspect of the defrag command which, if run with an incorrect flag, can cause a doubling in the amount of metadata on the filesystem (and thus the amount of space it consumes).  Again, it won't wreck anything, but would make management tedious if one needs to restore a snapshot to get rid of extra cruft.
    These are all mentioned in the FAQ's on the Btrfs wiki, though the wiki doesn't give priority to any of them.  I'm guessing that, if Fedora 16 will be using this later in the year, the Oracle folks have told the Red Hat folks that they're planning on plowing through these issues very soon.

  • Meta JCo connection issue - cannot have 2 systems for ESS????

    I have a finance R/3 system and also an HR R/3 System.
    I need to be able to use the FI system for the timesheet ESS screens and the HR system for the others.  I have used the iView Application parameter as documented;
    (sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:FIN&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData:FIN)
    The JCo destinations have been configured and do work ....
    However the problem is that the meta data jco connection that is used first appears to be cached and is then used going forward for every subsequent screen. 
    Therefore if I leave the menu screens as they are by default my timesheet screen won't work because the meta connection has been opened to the HR system and therefore the meta and data connections now don't match - even though the parameter has been set as above the configuration is ignored.
    I get the following error message
    Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException:
    Accessing System DE7 is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved
    using System DH7. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections
    properly. A Server restart may be necessary!
    So if I change the menu to use the finance system then the timesheet screen will work but none of the HR screens will work. (same error with the systems reversed)
    Is there any way of getting this to behave properly and make sure that the right Jco connection is used.  It is very frustrating because the configuration is correct, I just need to be able to force the applications to use the the Jco destination that has been defined for the iView.
    Regards
    Marina

    Hi, I have created new iview for Who's Who and put the below in Application Parameters:
    sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:UTL&sap-wdarfc-useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData:UTL&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=WD_MODELDATA_DEST:UTL&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST:UTL&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics:UTL&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData:UTL

  • Cannot mount file system

    Hi,
    I have had great advice on this board, and thought maybe someone could help me out. I am following the instructions on installing Enterprise Linux on VMServer. I have just about completed the install, but have ran into the following error message at this step of the instructions:
    Format the file system. Before proceeding with formatting and mounting the file system, verify that O2CB is online on both nodes; O2CB heartbeat is currently inactive because the file system is not mounted.
    # /etc/init.d/o2cb status
    Module "configfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
    Module "ocfs2_nodemanager": Loaded
    Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
    Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
    Checking O2CB cluster ocfs2: Online
    Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active
    You are only required to format the file system on one node. As the root user on rac1, execute
    # ocfs2console
    1. OCFS2 Console: Select Tasks, Format.
    2. Format:
    * Available devices: /dev/sdb1
    * Volume label: oracle
    * Cluster size: Auto
    * Number of node slots: 4
    * Block size: Auto
    3. OCFS2 Console: CTRL-Q to quit.
    Mount the file system. To mount the file system, execute the command below on both nodes.
    # mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs
    On rac1, the command to mount the file system works great, no errors. But on rac2, I get the following error:
    [root@rac2 ~]# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs
    ocfs2_hb_ctl: Bad magic number in superblock while reading uuid
    mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operations not
    permitted"
    Does anyone have an idea, I have followed the instructions to the letter, and this is the first error that has me stopped.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Hello -
    I installeded and configured ocfs2 on one of my nodes in my Linux cluster. However, when I run this command on the first node (2 nodes in my cluster):
    /etc/init.d/o2cb status
    I see the following heartbeat error:
    Driver for "configfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
    Driver for "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
    Checking O2CB cluster prycluster: Online
    Heartbeat dead threshold = 31
    Network idle timeout: 30000
    Network keepalive delay: 2000
    Network reconnect delay: 2000
    Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active
    Any ideas why I would see heartbeat as inactive? Also when I try to make the cluster filesystem online on my other node, I get this error:
    Starting O2CB cluster prycluster: Failed
    Cluster prycluster created
    Node jtcperfloradb01 added
    o2cb_ctl: Internal logic failure while adding node jtcperfloradb02
    Stopping O2CB cluster prycluster: OK
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,!
