Volume Manager Configuration Daemon Error Messages
Memory allocation failure
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Memory allocation failure
• Description
This implies that there is insufficient memory to start up the Volume
Manager and to get the volumes for the root and /usr file systems
running.
• Action
This error should not normally occur, unless your system has very
small amounts of memory. Adding just swap space will probably not
help because this error is most likely to occur early in the boot
sequence, before swap areas have been added.
Mount point: volume not in rootdg disk group
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Mount point path :
volume not in rootdg disk group
• Description
The volume device listed in the /etc/vfstab file for the given
mount-point directory (normally /usr) is listed as in a disk group
other than rootdg. This error should not occur if the standard
Volume Manager procedures are used for encapsulating the disk
containing the /usr file system.
• Action
You will need to boot the Volume Manager from a network or
CD-ROM mounted root file system. Then, start up the Volume
Manager using fixmountroot on a valid mirror disk of the root file
system. After starting Volume Manager, mount the root file system
volume and edit the /etc/vfstab file. Change the file to use a direct
partition for the file system. There should be a comment in the
/etc/vfstab file that indicates which partition to use, for example:
#NOTE: volume usr (/usr) encapsulated partition
c0t3d0s5 (or c0b0t3d0s5 if your system uses a bus).
