vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Disk group group is disabled, disks not
updated with new host ID
◆ Description: As a result of failures, the named disk group has become disabled. Earlier
error messages should indicate the cause. This message indicates that disks in that
disk group were not updated with a new VERITAS 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 the system’s VERITAS Volume Manager host ID. In such a case,
import the disk group directly using vxdg import with the -C option.
