vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING:
Group group : Duplicate virtual device number(s):
Volume volume remapped from major,minor to major,minor ...
• Description
The configuration of the named disk group includes conflicting device
numbers. A disk group configuration lists the recommended device
number to use for each volume in the disk group. If two volumes in
two disk groups happen to list the same device number, then one of
the volumes must use an alternate device number. This is called
device number remapping. Remapping is a temporary change to a
volume. If the other disk group is deported and the system is
rebooted, then the volume that was remapped may no longer be
remapped. Also, volumes that are remapped once are not guaranteed
to be remapped to the same device number in further reboots.
• Action
You should use the vxdg reminor operation to renumber all volumes
in the offending disk group permanently. See the vxdg(1M) manual
page for more information.
