Disk group, Disk: Group name collides with record in
rootdg
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Disk group group , Disk device :
Group name collides with record in rootdg
• Description
The name of a disk group that is being imported conflicts with the
name of a record in the rootdg disk group. Volume Manager does not
allow this kind of conflict because of the way the /dev/vx/dsk
directory is organized: devices corresponding to records in the root
disk group share this directory with subdirectories for each disk
group.
• Action
Either remove or rename the conflicting record in the root disk group,
or rename the disk group on import. See the vxdg(1M) manual page
for information on how to use the import operation to rename a disk
group.
Disk group, Disk: Skip disk group with duplicate name
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Disk group group , Disk device :
Skip disk group with duplicate name
• Description
Two disk groups with the same name are tagged for auto-importing
by the same host. Disk groups are identified both by a simple name
and by a long unique identifier (disk group ID) assigned when the
disk group is created. Thus, this error indicates that two disks
indicate the same disk group name but a different disk group ID.
The Volume Manager does not allow you to create a disk group or
import a disk group from another machine, if that would cause a
collision with a disk group that is already imported. Therefore, this
error is unlikely to occur under normal use. However, this error can
occur in the following two cases:
• A disk group cannot be auto-imported due to some temporary
failure. If you create a new disk group with the same name as the
failed disk group and reboot, then the new disk group will be
imported first, and the auto-import of the older disk group will fail
