Error returned from vxconfigd -m boot, halting
• Description: During system bootup, the VxVM configuration daemon reads the file
/etc/vx/volboot. If that file is missing or corrupted, the configuration daemon fails
and aborts the boot sequence.
• Action: Reboot from recovery media and run the following command:
# vx_emerg_start -m hostname
This determines if the volboot file is present, and rewrites it if it is not present.
