VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-91 Cannot create device device_path: reason
• Description: vxconfigd cannot create a device node either under /dev/vx/dsk or under
/dev/vx/rdsk. This should happen only if the root file system has run out of inodes.
• Action: Remove some unwanted files from the root file system. Then, regenerate the
device node using the command:
# vxdctl enable

VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-92 Cannot exec /usr/bin/rm to remove directory:
reason
• Description: The given directory could not be removed because the /usr/bin/rm utility
could not be executed by vxconfigd. This is not a serious error. The only side effect of a
directory not being removed is that the directory and its contents continue to use space in
the root file system. However, this does imply that the /usr file system is not mounted, or
on some systems, that the rm utility is missing or is not in its usual location. This may be
a serious problem for the general running of your system.
• Action: If the /usr file system is not mounted, you need to determine how to get it
mounted. If the rm utility is missing, or is not in the /usr/bin directory, restore it.
