V-5-1-545
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-545 Disk disk in group group locked by
host hostid Disk skipped
■ Description: The given disk is listed as locked by the host with the Veritas Volume
Manager 5.0 host ID (usually the same as the system host name).
■ Action: This message can usually be ignored. If you want to use the disk on this
system, use vxdiskadd to add the disk. Do not do this if the disk really is shared
with other systems.
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 5.0 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 5.0 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.
