VERITAS Volume Manager 4.1 Troubleshooting Guide

Preface

The VERITAS Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide provides information about how to

recover from hardware failure, and how to understand and deal with VERITAS Volume

Manager (VxVM) error messages during normal operation. It includes guidelines for

recovering from the failure of disks and other hardware upon which virtual software objects

such as subdisks, plexes and volumes are constructed in VxVM. Information is also included

on how to conﬁgure command and transaction logging, and to back up and restore disk group

conﬁgurations.

This guide assumes that you have a:

• Basic knowledge of the HP-UXTM operating system (OS).

• Basic understanding of HP-UX system administration.

• Basic understanding of storage management in VxVM.

NOTE Most VERITAS Volume Manager commands require superuser or other

appropriate privileges.
