SnapDrive for UNIX displays an error after you upgrade the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) from version 10 to 11. You must create a base device name and mount the file system.
When you perform storage operations, SnapDrive for UNIX reports the following error: 0001-791 Admin error: Device /dev/sdc does not have a partition. A single partition is required to support a persistent mount for file system /mnt/testfs. Retry command with '-nopersist' option
Workaround
-
Use the options
-fs
and-nopersist
to record the base device name, as shown in the following example:IBMX336-250-111:/etc/udev/rules.d # snapdrive storage connect -fs /mnt/testfs -lun f3020-207-11:/vol/san1/lun200_0 -nolvm -nopersist`
A file system is not created as expected, but the base device name is recorded (in this case,
/dev/sdc
). -
Create the
mkdir --p /mnt/testfs
directory in the base device name. -
Run
blkid
. -
Specify the following:
UUID=239ae9a1-75fd-4faf-b9f4-a0b80bf7b62c /mnt/testfs ext3
-
Mount the file system:
#mount /mnt/testfs`
-
Display the storage options:
#snapdrive storage show -fs /mnt/testfs3
