VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: Error check group
configuration copies. Database file not found
• Description: Regular startup of vxconfigd failed. This error can also result from the
command vxdctlenable.
The directory /var/vxvm/tempdb is inaccessible. This may be because of root file system
corruption, if the root file system is full, or if /var is a separate file system, because it has
become corrupted or has not been mounted.
• Action: If the root file system is full, increase its size or remove files to make space for the
tempdb file.
If /var is a separate file system, make sure that it has an entry in /etc/fstab.
Otherwise, look for I/O error messages during the boot process that indicate either a
hardware problem or misconfiguration of any logical volume management software being
used for the /var file system. Also verify that the encapsulation (if configured) of your
boot disk is complete and correct.
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: transactions are
disabled
• Description: Regular startup of vxconfigd failed. This error can also result from the
command vxdctlenable.
vxconfigd is continuing to run, but no configuration updates are possible until the error
condition is repaired.
Additionally, this may be followed with:
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-579 Disk group group: Errors in some configuration
copies: Disk device, copy number: Block bno: error ...
Other error messages may be displayed that further indicate the underlying problem.
• Action: Evaluate the error messages to determine the root cause of the problem. Make
changes suggested by the errors and then try rerunning the command.
If the "Errors in some configuration copies" error occurs again, that may indicate the real
problem lies with the configuration copies in the disk group. You can recreate a disk group
configuration by using the procedures given in “Restoring a Disk Group Configuration” on
page 62".
