Volume Manager Configuration Daemon Error Messages
As a result of failures, the named disk group has become disabled.
Earlier error messages should indicate the cause of this. This
warning message indicates that disks in that disk group were not
updated with a new Volume Manager host ID.
This warning message should result only from a vxdctl hostid
operation.
• Action
Typically, unless a disk group was disabled due to transient errors,
there is no way to repair a disabled disk group. The disk group may
have to be reconstructed from scratch. If the disk group was disabled
due to a transient error (such as a cabling problem), then a future
reboot may not automatically import the named disk group, due to
the change in Volume Manager host ID for the system. In that case,
the disk group should be imported directly using vxdgimport with
the -C option.
Disk group: Disk group log may be too small
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING:
Disk group group : Disk group log may be too small
Log size should be at least number blocks
• Description
The log areas for the disk group have become too small for the size of
configuration currently in the group. This should normally never
happen without first displaying a message about the database area
size. This message only occurs during disk group import; it can only
occur if the disk was inaccessible while new database objects were
added to the configuration, and the disk was then made accessible
and the system restarted.
• Action
If this situation does occur, then the disks in the group will have to be
explicitly reinitialized with larger log areas (which would require
data to be restored from backup). See the vxdisk(1M) manual page.
To reinitialize all of the disks, they must be detached from the group
with which they are associated and then reinitialized and re-added.
The disk group should then be deported and re-imported for the
changes to the log areas for the group to take effect.
