Volume Manager Configuration Daemon Error Messages
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING:
Disk disk in group group locked by host hostid Disk
skipped
• Description
The given disk is listed as locked by the host with the listed Volume
Manager hostid (usually the same as the system hostname). This
message can usually be ignored.
• Action
There is no action to take. If you want to use the disk on this system,
then use vxdiskadd to add the disk for use by the local system.
However, do not do that if the disk really is in a disk group that is in
use by another system that is sharing this disk.
Disk in group: Disk device not found
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Disk disk in group group :
Disk device not found
• Description
No physical disk can be found that matches the named disk in the
given disk group. This is equivalent to failure of that disk. Physical
disks are located by matching disk IDs stored in the Volume Manager
header on a disk and disk IDs stored in the disk group configuration.
The configuration contains the official list of disk IDs for all disks in a
disk group (the IDs are contained in disk media configuration
records). The physical disks are then scanned to match that list
against the disk IDs stored in disk headers. This error message is
displayed for any disk IDs in the configuration that are not located in
the disk header of any physical disk.
This may result from a transient failure (such as a poorly-attached
cable, or from a disk that failed to spin up fast enough). Alternately,
this may happen as a result of a disk being physically removed from
the system, or from a disk that has become unusable due to a head
crash or electronics failure.
Any RAID-5 or DRL log plexes on this disk will be unusable; any
RAID-5 subdisks or mirrored plexes containing subdisks on this disk
will also be unusable. These disk failures (particularly multiple disk
failures) may cause one or more volumes to become unusable.
