Volume entering degraded mode
vxvm:vxconfigd: NOTICE: Volume volume entering degraded
mode
• Description
The detach of a subdisk in the named RAID-5 volume has caused that
volume to enter “degraded” mode. While in degraded mode,
performance of the RAID-5 volume will be substantially reduced.
More importantly, failure of another subdisk may leave the RAID-5
volume unusable. Also, if the RAID-5 volume does not have an active
log, then failure of the system may leave the volume unusable.
• Action
If hot-relocation is enabled, the Volume Manager objects affected by
the disk failure may be taken care of automatically. Mail will be sent
to root indicating what actions were taken by the Volume Manager
and what further actions the administrator should take.
