recommended course of action given below.
vxvm:vxassist: WARNING: volume volume already has at least one snapshot plex
Snapshot volume created with these plexes will have a dco volume with no
associated dco plex.
• Description: An error was detected while adding a DCO object and DCO volume to a
mirrored volume. There is at least one snapshot plex already created on the volume.
Because this snapshot plex was created when no DCO was associated with the
volume, there is no DCO plex allocated for it.
• Action: See the section “Enabling Persistent FastResync on Existing Volumes with
Associated Snapshots” in the chapter “Administering Volumes” of the VERITAS
Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide.
