VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-122 Detaching plex plex from volume volume
◆ Description: This error only happens for volumes that are started automatically by
vxconfigd at system startup. The plex is being detached as a result of I/O failure,
disk failure during startup or prior to the last system shutdown or crash, or disk
removal prior to the last system shutdown or crash.
◆ Action: To ensure that the file system retains the same number of active mirrors,
remove the given plex and add a new mirror using the vxassist mirror operation.
Also consider replacing any bad disks before running this command.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-123 Disk group group: Disabled by errors
◆ Description: This message indicates that some error condition has made it impossible
for VxVM to continue to manage changes to a disk group. The major reason for this is
that too many disks have failed, making it impossible for vxconfigd to continue to
update configuration copies. There should be a preceding error message that indicates
the specific error that was encountered.
If the disk group that was disabled is the boot disk group, the following additional
error is displayed:
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-104 All transactions are disabled
This additional message indicates that vxconfigd has entered the disabled state,
which makes it impossible to change the configuration of any disk group, not just the
boot disk group.
◆ Action: If the underlying error resulted from a transient failure, such as a disk cabling
error, then you may be able to repair the situation by rebooting. Otherwise, the disk
group configuration may have to be recreated by using the procedures given in
“Restoring a Disk Group Configuration” on page 45, and the contents of any volumes
restored from a backup.
