Cannot create device
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Cannot create device
device_path : reason
• Description
vxconfigd cannot create a device node either under /dev/vx/dsk or
under /dev/vx/rdsk. This should happen only if the root file system
has run out of inodes.
• Action
Try removing some files from the root file system. Then, regenerate
the device node with the command:

Cannot exec /usr/bin/rm to remove directory
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING:
Cannot exec /usr/bin/rm to remove directory : reason
• Description
The given directory could not be removed because the /usr/bin/rm
utility could not be executed by vxconfigd. This is not a serious error.
The only side effect of a directory not being removed is that the
directory and its contents continue to use space in the root file
system. However, this does imply that the /usr file system is not
mounted, or on some systems, that the rm utility is missing or is not
in its usual location. This may be a serious problem for the general
running of your system.
