Volume Reconfiguration
Volume reconfiguration is the process of creating, changing, and removing VxVM objects
such as disk groups, volumes and plexes. In a cluster, all nodes co-operate to perform such
operations. The vxconfigd daemons (see “vxconfigd Daemon” on page 362) play an
active role in volume reconfiguration. For reconfiguration to succeed, a vxconfigd
daemon must be running on each of the nodes.
A volume reconfiguration transaction is initiated by running a VxVM utility on the master
node. The utility contacts the local vxconfigd daemon on the master node, which
validates the requested change. For example, vxconfigd rejects an attempt to create a
join timed out during
reconfiguration
Join of a node has timed out due to reconfiguration
taking place in the cluster.
klog update failed Cannot update kernel log copies during the join of a
node.
master aborted during join Master node aborted while another node was joining
the cluster.
minor number conflict Minor number conflicts exist between private disk
groups and shared disk groups that are being
imported.
protocol version out of range Cluster protocol version mismatch or unsupported
version.
recovery in progress Volumes that were opened by the node are still
recovering.
transition to role failed Changing the role of a node to be the master failed.
user initiated abort Node is out of cluster due to an abort initiated by the
cluster monitor.
user initiated stop Node is out of cluster due to a stop initiated by the
user or by the cluster monitor.
vxconfigd is not enabled The VxVM configuration daemon is not enabled.
