The following message indicates a recoverable error.
vxdg
: Disk group
groupname
: import failed: Disk for disk
group not
found
If some of the disks in the disk group have failed, force the disk group to
be imported with the command:
# vxdg -f import
diskgroup
NOTE Be careful when using the -f option. It can cause the same disk group to
be imported twice from different sets of disks, causing the disk group to
become inconsistent.
These operations can be performed using the vxdiskadm utility. To
deport a disk group by using vxdiskadm, select menu item 9 (Remove
access to (deport) a disk group). To import a disk group, select
item 8 (Enable access to (import) a disk group). The vxdiskadm
import operation checks for host import locks and prompts to see if you
want to clear any that are found. It also starts volumes in the disk group.
