VxVM vxio WARNING V-5-0-164 Failed to join cluster name, aborting
◆ Description: A node failed to join a cluster. This may be caused by the node being
unable to see all the shared disks. Other error messages may provide more
information about the disks that cannot be found.
◆ Action: Use the vxdisk -s list command on the master node to see what disks
should be visible to the slave node. Then check that the operating system and VxVM
on the failed node can also see these disks. If the operating system cannot see the
disks, check the cabling and hardware configuration of the node. If only VxVM cannot
see the disks, use the vxdctl enable command to make it scan again for the disks.
When the disks are visible to VxVM on the node, retry the join.

VxVM vxio WARNING V-5-0-166 Failed to log the detach of the DRL volume
volume
◆ Description: An attempt failed to write a kernel log entry indicating the loss of a DRL
volume. The attempted write to the log failed either because the kernel log is full, or
because of a write error to the drive. The volume becomes detached.
◆ Action: Messages about log failures are usually fatal, unless the problem is transient.
However, the kernel log is sufficiently redundant that such errors are unlikely to
occur.
If the problem is not transient (that is, the drive cannot be fixed and brought back
online without data loss), recreate the disk group from scratch and restore all of its
volumes from backups. Even if the problem is transient, reboot the system after
correcting the problem.
If error messages are seen from the disk driver, it is likely that the last copy of the log
failed due to a disk error. Replace the failed drive in the disk group. The log
re-initializes on the new drive. Finally force the failed volume into an active state and
recover the data.

VxVM vxio WARNING V-5-0-168 Failure in RAID-5 logging operation
◆ Description: Indicates that a RAID-5 log has failed.
◆ Action: To restore RAID-5 logging to a RAID-5 volume, create a new log plex and
attach it to the volume.
