V-5-1-557
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-557 Disk disk, group group, device device:
not updated with new host ID
Error: reason
■ Description: This can result from using vxdctl hostid to change the Veri ta s
Volume Manager 5.0 host ID for the system. The error indicates that one of the disks
in a disk group could not be updated with the new host ID. This usually indicates that
the disk has become inaccessible or has failed in some other way.
■ Action: Try running the following command to determine whether the disk is still
operational:
# vxdisk check device
If the disk is no longer operational, vxdisk should print a message such as:
device: Error: Disk write failure
This will result in the disk being taken out of active use in its disk group, if it has not
already been taken out of use. If the disk is still operational, which should not be the
case, vxdisk prints:
device: Okay
If the disk is listed as “Okay,” try running vxdctl hostid again. If it still results
in an error, contact Veritas Technical Support.
V-5-1-568
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-568 Disk group group is disabled, disks
not updated with new host ID
■ Description: As a result of failures, the named disk group has become disabled.
Earlier error messages should indicate the cause. This message indicates that disks in
that disk group were not updated with a new Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 host ID.
This warning message should result only from a vxdctl hostid operation.
■ Action: Typically, unless a disk group was disabled due to transient errors, there is no
way to repair a disabled disk group. The disk group may have to be reconstructed
from scratch. If the disk group was disabled due to a transient error such as a cabling
problem, then a future reboot may not automatically import the named disk group,
due to the change in the system’s Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 host ID. In such a
case, import the disk group directly using vxdg import with the -C option.
