When you decide to remove a file system from a PVS, this file system needs to use a different jfslog from the Assure MIMIX for AIX protected jfslog. Follow the steps below to associate the newly removed file system with a non-protected jfslog.
Assumption: The file system /jfslog is being removed from the Assure MIMIX for AIX PVS. The Assure MIMIX for AIX protected file systems are unmounted, the Assure MIMIX for AIX processes are stopped and the Assure MIMIX for AIX data tap is unloaded.
-
If a jfslog exists in the volume group that is not currently part of the PVS, you can assign that jfslog to the file system that is being removed from the PVS.
umount /jfslog
chfs -a log=/dev/<nonrtjfslog> /jfslog
where nonrtjfslog is a jfslog that exists in the volume group but is not part the PVS.
-
If a jfslog does not exist in the volume group:
mklv -t jfslog -y< newjfslog> <vgname> 1
where <newjfslog> is the name of the jfslog that you are creating for the non-protected file system to use.
-
Format the jfslog.
logform /dev/<newjfslog>
-
Assign the jfslog to the non-protected file system
chfs -a log=/dev/<newjfslog> /jfslog
