V-5-1-768

VxVM vxconfigd NOTICE V-5-1-768 Offlining config copy number on disk disk:

Reason: reason

• Description: An I/O error caused the indicated conﬁguration copy to be disabled. This is a

notice only, and does not normally imply serious problems, unless this is the last active

conﬁguration copy in the disk group.

• Action: Consider replacing the indicated disk, since this error implies that the disk has

deteriorated to the point where write errors cannot be repaired automatically. The error

can also result from transient problems with cabling or power.

V-5-1-809

VxVM vxplex ERROR V-5-1-809 Plex plex in volume volume is locked by

another utility.

• Description: The vxplex command fails because a previous operation to attach a plex did

not complete. The vxprint command should show that one or both of the temporary and

persistent utility ﬁelds (TUTIL0 and PUTIL0) of the volume and one of its plexes are set.

• Action: If the vxtasklist command does not show a task running for the volume, use the

vxmend command to clear the TUTIL0 and PUTIL0 ﬁelds for the volume and all its

components for which these ﬁelds are set:

# vxmend -g diskgroup clear all volume plex ...

V-5-1-923

VxVM vxplex ERROR V-5-1-923 Record volume is in disk group diskgroup1

plex is in group diskgroup2.

• Description: An attempt was made to snap back a plex from a different disk group.

• Action: Move the snapshot volume into the same disk group as the original volume.

V-5-1-1171

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1171 Version number of kernel does not

match vxconfigd

• Description: The release of vxconfigd does not match the release of the VERITAS Volume

Manager kernel drivers. This should happen only as a result of upgrading VxVM, and

then running vxconﬁgd without a reboot.

• Action: Reboot the system. If that does not cure the problem, re-add the VxVM packages.
