Chapter 694
Description: The -k (kill existing vxconfigd process) option was specified, but a running
configuration daemon process could not be killed. A configuration daemon process, for
purposes of this discussion, is any process that opens the /dev/vx/config device (only
one process can open that device at a time). If there is a configuration daemon process
already running, then the -k option causes a SIGKILL signal to be sent to that process. If,
within a certain period of time, there is still a running configuration daemon process, the
above error message is displayed.
Action: This error can result from a kernel error that has made the configuration daemon
process unkillable, from some other kind of kernel error, or from some other user starting
another configuration daemon process after the SIGKILL signal. This last condition can
be tested for by running vxconfigd-k again. If the error message reappears, contact
VERITAS Technical Support.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2197 node N: missing vxconfigd

V-5-1-2274
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2274 volume:vxconfigd cannot boot-start RAID-5
volumes
Description: A volume that vxconfigd should start immediately upon booting the system
(that is, the volume for the /usr file system) has a RAID-5 layout. The /usr file system
should never be defined on a RAID-5 volume.
Action: It is likely that the only recovery for this is to boot VxVM from a network-mounted
root file system , and reconfigure the /usr file system to be defined on a regular
non-RAID-5 volume.
