Trouble converting FileSystem metadata with fscdsconv in Linux (Veritas Storage Foundation)

Hello everyone, 

I'm in the process of migrating a Solaris 5.10 server to Linux Red Hat 6.4 

At this point, I'm trying to convert the byte order of some volumes that come from Solaris in my Linux server using the following command: 

/opt/VRTS/bin/fscdsconv -y -e -f /tmp/vxConv/dbtemp01.tmp -t os_name=Linux,arch=x86 /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtemp/dbtemp01

Note: Because of the text formating, the above command could span several lines, but I'm executing it in just one

And I get the following errors:

UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-20012: not a valid vxfs file system
UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-24426: fscdsconv: Failed to migrate

Searching for a solution of these errors in the Veritas forums, I've found this post, where the user mikebounds gives some steps to migrate Solaris to Linux. I've found that I've replicated these steps but I get stuck on the fscdsconv because the beforementioned errors

Does anyone know what could be happening here or have any sugestion to share?

Software Versions involved:

  • RHEL 6.4 x86_64
  • Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise 6.2.0.100 on Linux
  • Solaris 5.10
  • Veritas 5.0 on Solaris
  • Disk layout v7
  • vxfs filesystem format

Thank you very much in advance for any help/ideas to solve this

Best regards

Raul
