VxVM Disk Group Error During Install
No validation is done on the disk group name to see if it conflicts
with a disk group name currently imported on the system being
installed. If the name conflicts with an imported disk group the
creation of the extra disk group will fail. This is a feature of
VxVM to prevent the creation of duplicate disk groups. If you do
encounter this problem you will be presented with something like
the following messages:
vxvm:vxdg: ERROR: Disk group dg02: cannot create: Disk group
exists and is imported
ERROR: Command "/sbin/vxdg init dg02 dg0201=c17t12d0
dg0202=c17t13d0" failed.
The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]):
To continue and ignore the error enter y and at the shell prompt
enter
exit 2 and press return. If you do not wish to continue the
installation answer n.
To resolve this issue, export VxVM disk groups before starting an
install session if you plan on recreating them via the Installation
User Interface. For more information, see the Ignite-UX FAQ:
