VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2353 Disk group group: Cannot recover temp
database: reason
Consider use of "vxconfigd -x cleartempdir" [see vxconfigd(1M)].
◆ Description: This can happen if you kill and restart vxconfigd, or if you disable and
enable it with vxdctl disable and vxdctl enable. This error indicates a failure
related to reading the file /var/vxvm/tempdb/group. This is a temporary file
used to store information that is used when recovering the state of an earlier
vxconfigd. The file is recreated on a reboot, so this error should never survive a
reboot.
◆ Action: If you can reboot, do so. If you do not want to reboot, then do the following:
a. Ensure that no vxvol, vxplex, or vxsd processes are running.
Use ps -e to search for such processes, and use kill to kill any that you find.
You may have to run kill twice to make these processes go away. Killing utilities
in this way may make it difficult to make administrative changes to some
volumes until the system is rebooted.
b. Recreate the temporary database files for all imported disk groups using the
following command:
# vxconfigd -x cleartempdir 2> /dev/console
The vxvol, vxplex, and vxsd commands make use of these tempdb files to
communicate locking information. If the file is cleared, then locking information
can be lost. Without this locking information, two utilities can end up making
incompatible changes to the configuration of a volume.
