Veritas HSM Maintenance

Submitted by on February 12, 2008 – 11:22 am 2 Comments

When resizing a VXFS filesystem on a server that has HSM running, it is necessary to place HSM in maintenance mode for that particular filesystem. Failing to do so may cause the VFS resize operation to freeze if there is an active HSM migsweep in progress.

  1. run migVSMstate to get the current status
  2. migVSMstate -s maintenance fs_name
  3. check to see that the mig processes have stopped working on the filesystem: use ps -deaf | grep mig, should only have the three deamons, will see filesystem name in other tasks if it is working on it. NOTE: stopping HSM may take several minutes, so be patient.
  4. once sure no mig processes are active and the filesystem is in maint mode then can grow with VEA
  5. when done growing fs, activate with migVSMstate -s active fs_name
  6. Profit!

    Basically, I’m wondering if other cancer patients have benefitted from taking anti-depression drugs. I think I’ve managed fairly well so far but lately I’ve been feeling in the depths od despair, usually at the same time each month so I think the hormones are messing with my emotions. I’ve been dealing with breast cancer for 2 1/2 years now and am at stage IV and in maintenance mode, managing the mets which will probably be with me for the rest of my hopefully long life.  Could the Herceptin I get weekly be a factor or is it just a case of being tired of dealing with it plus hormones pushing me so close to the edge every month? I will ask my oncologist about possible medication to keep the blues away. I’d appreciate comments and advice on what to expect.

    I have a trial version of Office 2003 that expired last year, now I have a code and I want to install it but it won’t give me a place to put down the product code. I will go to the help menu, then to activate product, then I get a wizard that tells me to press the convert button, I do this and it goes right into the Maintenance mode options. I have tried the add/remove features, and the repair reinstall but haven’t done the uninstall because I don’t want to lose the software. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Can someone please tell me how to get to the product code where I can enter the numbers and letters to get this thing activated? Please….the fate of the western world depends on this!! :)
