◆ A disk group cannot be auto-imported due to some temporary failure. If you
create a new disk group with the same name as the failed disk group and reboot,
the new disk group is imported first. The auto-import of the older disk group fails
because more recently modified disk groups have precedence over older disk
groups.
◆ A disk group is deported from one host using the -h option to cause the disk
group to be auto-imported on reboot from another host. If the second host was
already auto-importing a disk group with the same name, then reboot of that host
will yield this error.
◆ Action: If you want to import both disk groups, then rename the second disk group on
import. See the vxdg(1M) manual page for information on how to use the import
operation to rename a disk group.
V-5-1-577
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-577 Disk group group: Disk group log may
be too small
Log size should be at least number blocks
◆ Description: The log areas for the disk group have become too small for the size of
configuration currently in the group. This message only occurs during disk group
import; it can only occur if the disk was inaccessible while new database objects were
added to the configuration, and the disk was then made accessible and the system
restarted. This should not normally happen without first displaying a message about
the database area size.
◆ Action: Reinitialize the disks in the group with larger log areas. Note that this requires
that you restore data on the disks from backups. See the vxdisk(1M) manual page. To
reinitialize all of the disks, detach them from the group with which they are
associated, reinitialize and re-add them. Then deport and re-import the disk group to
effect the changes to the log areas for the group.
V-5-1-579
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-579 Disk group group: Errors in some
configuration copies: Disk disk, copy number: [Block number]: reason ...
◆ Description: During a failed disk group import, some of the configuration copies in the
named disk group were found to have format or other types of errors which make
those copies unusable. This message lists all configuration copies that have
uncorrected errors, including any appropriate logical block number. If no other
reasons are displayed, then this may be the cause of the disk group import failure.
