vxfs filesystems not mounting

Cause

In this case, the user was unable to mount and was getting uncorrectable error messages from mountall. Below is the individual mount report:


mount: You don't have a license to run this program
However, vxserial -p showed the following:

Feature name: CURRSET [95]     
Number of licenses: 1 (non-floating)     
Expiration date: Sun Jan 18 03:00:00 1998 (22.8 days from now)     
Release Level: 20     
Machine Class: All      

Feature name: RAID [96]     
Number of licenses: 1 (non-floating)     
Expiration date: Sun Jan 18 03:00:00 1998 (22.8 days from now)     
Release Level: 20     
Machine Class: All

Action

Use vxfsserial -p to see the state of the vxfs license. In this case, it had expired. Unexpired vxfsserial -p output looks similiar to the following:


Feature name: VXFS [80]     
Number of licenses: 1 (non-floating)     
Expiration date: No expiration date     
Release Level: 22     
Machine Class: 934986342
