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.
◆ Action: If the /usr file system is not mounted, you need to determine how to get it
mounted. If the rm utility is missing, or is not in the /usr/bin directory, restore it.
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Cannot fork to remove directory directory:
reason
◆ Description: The given directory could not be removed because vxconfigd could not
fork in order to run the rm utility. This is not a serious error. The only side effect of a
directory not being removed is that the directory and its contents will continue to use
space in the root file system. The most likely cause for this error is that your system
does not have enough memory or paging space to allow vxconfigd to fork.
◆ Action: If your system is this low on memory or paging space, your overall system
performance is probably substantially degraded. Consider adding more memory or
paging space.
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Cannot issue internal transaction: reason
◆ Description: This problem usually occurs only if there is a bug in VxVM. However, it
may also occur if memory is low.
◆ Action: Contact Customer Support.
vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Cannot open log file log_filename: reason
