791.0. "problem with volencap on root disk" by MLNCSC::VOCI () Thu May 08 1997 06:45

    Hello,
    
    I'm encapsulating the root disk on Digital Unix 4.0b:
    
    #volencap rz0
    
    Setting up encapsulation for rz0.
    - Creating nopriv disk for rz0c.
    
    The following disks are queued up for encapsulation or use by LSM.
    You must reboot the system to perform the actual encapsulations.
        rz0c
    
    #vol-reconfig
    Encapsulating rz0c.
    voldisk: Volume daemon is not accessible
      rz0c encapsulation failed.
    
    The following disks failed encapsulation:
    rz0c
    
    Any idea on what could cause this?
    Thanks,
    Gea

	Hi Gea, Did you already run volsetup to start rootdg on your system? Before encapsulating the root disk, LSM should have been installed and set up. Try volsetup on a different disk than the root one. Manu.
791.2	volinstal - volsetup	MLNCSC::VOCI		`Fri May 09 1997 11:32`	14
	Hello, I run volinstall but not volsetup since in the documentation I found the following statement (pag. 5-2 LSM manual): - Note that if you are encapsulating the entire boot disk, rootdg does not have to be initialized. In this case, the encapsulation procedure will initialize it. I did it my self in version 3.* and had no problems. Has something changed on the new release? Thanks, Gea

	Gea, Sorry, I have not been able to play a lot with the new version 4.x So, maybe, the version 4.x don't require to setup the rootdg, but at least, I am sure that it was necessary in version 3.x Manu.

	In 4.0, volencap of the system disk will initialize LSM and rootdg if LSM is not setup. There is no need to run volinstall. The problem here is that volencap is not detecting rz0 as the root disk. If it did it would not create a nopriv disk for rz0c but would create a nopriv disk for rz0a and whatever other partitions were in use. So the question is what does the disklabel and /etc/fstab look like? [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
