Volume Manager Configuration Daemon Error Messages
• Description
During a failed disk group import, some of the configuration copies in
the named disk group were found to have format or other types of
errors which make those copies unusable. This message lists all
configuration copies that have uncorrected errors, including any
appropriate logical block number. If no other reasons are displayed,
then this may be the cause of the disk group import failure.
• Action
If some of the copies failed due to transient errors (such as cable

group. Otherwise, the disk group may have to be recreated from
scratch.
