Kernel Error Messages
If this error occurs often but never leads to a plex detach, there may
be a marginal region on the disk at the position shown. It may
eventually be necessary to remove data from this disk (see the
vxevac(1M) manual page) and then to reformat the drive.
Object detached from volume
vxvm:vxio:WARNING: object plex detached from volume
volume
• Description
An uncorrectable error was detected by the mirroring code and a
mirror copy was detached.
• Action
To restore redundancy, it may be necessary to add another mirror.
The disk on which the failure occurred should be evacuated and
reformatted, if possible. If the drive has failed completely, it may need
to be replaced.
Overlapping mirror detached from volume
vxvm:vxio:WARNING: Overlapping mirror plex detached from
volume
volume
• Description
An error has occurred on the last complete plex in the mirrored
volume. Any sparse mirrors that map the failing region must be
detached so that they cannot be accessed to satisfy that failed region
inconsistently. This message indicates that such an overlapping
mirror was found and is being detached.
• Action
No Action is directly necessary. The message indicates that the
volume may have left some data inaccessible at the failing region and
that it is no longer redundantly stored.
Kernel log full
vxvm:vxio:WARNING: Kernel log full: volume detached
• Description
A plex detach failed because the kernel log was full. As a result, the
mirrored volume will become detached.
