In this release, you can create and mount only file systems with disk layout Version 7, 8, and 9. You can only local mount disk layout Version 6 only to upgrade to a later disk layout version.
Disk layout Version 6 has been deprecated and you cannot cluster mount an existing file system that has disk layout Version 6. To upgrade a cluster file system with disk layout Version 6, you must local mount the file system and then upgrade the file system using the vxupgrade utility to a later version.
See the vxupgrade(1M) manual page.
Support for disk layout Version 4 has been removed. You must upgrade any existing file systems with disk layout Version 4 to disk layout Version 7 or later using the vxfsconvert command.
See the vxfsconvert(1M) manual page.
Note: |
Symantec recommends that you upgrade existing file systems to the highest supported disk layout version prior to upgrading to this release. |
You can check which disk layout version your file system has by using the following command:
# fstyp -v /dev/vx/dsk/dg1/vol1 | grep -i version
