Obtain VFS and Group Numbers

When you install HSM on an AIX JFS file system, the HSM client obtains a virtual file system (vfs) number. Because numbers zero through seven are reserved, the program attempts to obtain a vfs number in the range of eight through fifteen. The HSM client begins with the number fifteen and descends in that range to locate an unused number. If a number is not available, an error message displays. You must:

  1. Check the /etc/vfs file for the current use of vfs numbers.
  2. Release a number in the range of eight through fifteen.
  3. Start TSM installation again.

The HSM client also obtains group numbers for HSM execution modes. The program selects an unused range of group numbers beginning with the largest possible group number and descending to the smallest possible group number. The range is xxxxxx00 through xxxxxx7F.
