Persistent Simple/Nopriv Disks in the Root Disk Group

If all persistent simple and nopriv disks in rootdg go into the error state

and the vxconﬁgd daemon is disabled after the naming scheme change,

perform the following steps:

Step 1. Use vxdiskadm to change back to the c#t#d# naming scheme.

Step 2. Either shut down and reboot the system, or enter the following command

to restart the VxVM conﬁguration daemon:

# vxconfigd -kr reset

Step 3. If you want to use the enclosure-based naming scheme, use vxdiskadm to

add a non-persistent simple disk to the rootdg disk group, change back to

the enclosure-based naming scheme, and then run the following

command:

# /usr/bin/vxvm/bin/vxdarestore

NOTE If not all the disks in rootdg go into the error state, you need only run

vxdarestore to restore the disks that are in the error state and the

objects that they contain.

Persistent Simple/Nopriv Disks in Non-Root Disk Groups

If an imported disk group other than rootdg, consisting only of persistent

simple and/or nopriv disks, is put in the “online dgdisabled” state after

the change to the enclosure-based naming scheme, perform the following

steps:

Step 1. Deport the disk group using the following command:

# vxdg deport diskgroup

Step 2. Use the vxdarestore command to restore the failed disks, and to recover

the objects on those disks:

# /usr/bin/vxvm/bin/vxdarestore

Step 3. Re-import the disk group using the following command:

# vxdg import diskgroup
