    Hi Sukrut

    I just read through your previous post again: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/vxfs-version-5

    Did you not try the patch mentioned in the post marked as Solution?

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH78028

    If impacted by this situation, contact Symantec Support and request the following patch:

     Hotfix 1 for File System 5.1RP1   ( VxFS 5.1RP1HF1 )  

    The VxFS 5.1RP1HF1 patch is cumulative and can be applied to any patch level VxFS5.1 installation (5.1, 5.1P1, 5.1RP1).  Following patch application file systems can be upgraded using the following procedure:

    # mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/diskgroup/volume /mountpoint
    # vxupgrade -n 5 /mountpoint  (for version 4 file systems)
    # vxupgrade -n 6 /mountpoint
    # vxupgrade -n 7 /mountpoint
