V-5-1-546

VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-546 Disk disk in group group: Disk device not found

• Description: No physical disk can be found that matches the named disk in the given disk

group. This is equivalent to failure of that disk. (Physical disks are located by matching

the disk IDs in the disk group conﬁguration records against the disk IDs stored in the

VERITAS Volume Manager header on the physical disks.) This error message is displayed

for any disk IDs in the conﬁguration that are not located in the disk header of any

physical disk. This may result from a transient failure such as a poorly-attached cable, or

from a disk that fails to spin up fast enough. Alternately, this may happen as a result of a

disk being physically removed from the system, or from a disk that has become unusable

due to a head crash or electronics failure.

Any RAID-5 plexes, DRL log plexes, RAID-5 subdisks or mirrored plexes containing

subdisks on this disk are unusable. Such disk failures (particularly on multiple disks)

may cause one or more volumes to become unusable.

• Action: If hot-relocation is enabled, VERITAS Volume Manager objects affected by the

disk failure are taken care of automatically. Mail is sent to root indicating what actions

were taken by VxVM and what further actions the administrator should take.

V-5-1-554

VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-554 Disk disk names group group, but group ID

differs

• Description: As part of a disk group import, a disk was discovered that had a mismatched

disk group name and disk group ID. This disk is not imported. This can only happen if two

disk groups have the same name but have different disk group ID values. In such a case,

one group is imported along with all its disks and the other group is not. This message

appears for disks in the un-selected group.

• Action: If the disks should be imported into the group, this must be done by adding the

disk to the group at a later stage, during which all conﬁguration information for the disk

is lost.
