1) #vxprint -g dgname -rhmvps filename >

filename.vxoutput

2) open the file simplevol.vxout using your fav editor and

change the use_type field alone from gen to fsgen.

3. Save the file. make sure you edit the use_type field

alone…

4. Umount the filesystem; umount /simplevol

5. stop the volume ; vxvol -g dgname stop simplevol

6. remove the volume ; vxedit -g dgname -rf rm simplevol

7. using vxmake rebuild the volume from the saved file ;

vxmake -g dgname -d simplevol.vxout

8. check the vxprint out; vxprint -g dgname -hrt ; check

for the usage type; it would be fsgen

9. start the volume; vxvol -g dgname start simplevol

10. do a fsck for the volume; fsck -

y /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/simplevol

11. mount the filesystem ; mount /simplevol

gen assumes a volume does not contain filesystem and fsgen

assumes a volume contains a file system. Vxassist uses

fsgen as default type and vxmake uses gen as default type.
