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 diskgroupconfiguration lists therecommendeddevice number touse 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: Use the vxdg reminor command to renumber all volumes in the offending
disk group permanently. See the vxdg(1M) manual page for more information.

may also occur if memory is low.
