Volume Manager Conﬁguration Daemon Error Messages

This will recreate the temporary database ﬁles for all imported disk

groups.

The vxvol, vxplex, and vxsd commands make use of these tempdb ﬁles

to communicate locking information. If the ﬁle is cleared, then locking

information can be lost. Without this locking information, two utilities

can end up making incompatible changes to the conﬁguration of a

volume.

Disk group: Disabled by errors

vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Disk group

group

: Disabled by

errors

• Description

This message indicates that some error condition has made it

impossible for Volume Manager to continue to manage changes to a

disk group. The major reason for this is that too many disks have

failed, making it impossible for vxconfigd to continue to update

conﬁguration copies. There should be a preceding error message that

indicates the speciﬁc error that was encountered.

If the disk group that was disabled is the rootdg disk group, then the

following additional error should be displayed:

vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: All transactions are disabled

This additional message indicates that vxconfigd has entered the

disabled state, which makes it impossible to change the

conﬁguration of any disk group, not just rootdg.

• Action

If the underlying error resulted from a transient failure, such as a

disk cabling error, then you may be able to repair the situation by

rebooting. Otherwise, the disk group may have to be recreated and

restored from a backup. Failure of the rootdg disk group may require

reinstallation of the system if your system uses a root or /usr ﬁle

system deﬁned on a volume.
