Understanding Error Messages
VxVM is fault-tolerant and resolves most problems without system administrator
intervention. If the configuration daemon (vxconfigd) recognizes the actions that are
necessary, it queues up the transactions that are required. VxVM provides atomic
changes of system configurations; either a transaction completes fully, or the system is
left in the same state as though the transaction was never attempted. If vxconfigd is
unable to recognize and fix system problems, the system administrator needs to handle
the task of problem solving using the diagnostic messages that are returned from the
software. The following sections list error messages that may be seen along with a more
detailed description of the likely cause of the problem and suggestions for any actions
that can be taken.
