vxvm: vxdg: ERROR: diskdevice: Request crosses disk group boundary

◆ Description: The speciﬁed disk device is not conﬁgured in the source disk group for a

disk group move or split operation.

◆ Action: Correct the name of the disk object speciﬁed in the disk group move or split

operation.

vxvm: vxdg:

ERROR: diskgroup: split failed: Error in cluster processing

◆ Description: The host is not the master node in the cluster.

◆ Action: Perform the operation from the master node.

vxvm: vxdg: ERROR: Transaction already in progress

◆ Description: One of the disk groups speciﬁed in a disk group move, split or join

operation is currently involved in another unrelated disk group move, split or join

operation (possibly as the result of recovery from a system failure).

◆ Action: Use the vxprint command to display the status of the disk groups involved.

If vxprint shows that the TUTIL0 ﬁeld for a disk group is set to MOVE, and you are

certain that no disk group move, split or join should be in progress, use the vxdg

command to clear the ﬁeld as described in “Recovering from Incomplete Disk Group

Moves” on page 15. Otherwise, retry the operation.

vxvm: vxdg: ERROR: volume: Volume or plex device is open or mounted

◆ Description: An attempt was made to perform a disk group move, split or join on a

disk group containing an open volume.

◆ Action: It is most likely that a ﬁle system conﬁgured on the volume is still mounted.

Stop applications thataccess volumesconﬁguredin the disk group, and unmount any

ﬁle systems conﬁgured in the volumes.

vxvm: vxdg: ERROR: vxdg join sourcedg targetdg failed

vxvm: vxdg: ERROR: object: Record already exists in disk group

◆ Description: A disk group join operation failed because the name of an object in one

disk group is the same as the name of an object in the other disk group. Such name

clashes are most likely to occur for snap objects and snapshot plexes.

◆ Action: Use thefollowing command tochange the objectnamein eitherone ofthe disk

groups:

# vxedit -g diskgroup rename old_name new_name

For more information about using the vxedit command, see the vxedit(1M)

manual page.
