V-5-1-579
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-579 Disk group group: Errors in some
configuration copies: Disk disk, copy number: [Block number]: reason
...
■ Description: During a failed disk group import, some of the configuration copies in
the named disk group were found to have format or other types of errors which make
those copies unusable. This message lists all configuration copies that have
uncorrected errors, including any appropriate logical block number. If no other
reasons are displayed, then this may be the cause of the disk group import failure.
■ Action: If some of the copies failed due to transient errors (such as cable failures),
then a reboot or re-import may succeed in importing the disk group. Otherwise, the
disk group configuration may have to be restored. You can recreate a disk group
configuration by using the procedures given in “Restoring a disk group
configuration” on page 49
V-5-1-583
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-583 Disk group group: Reimport of disk
group failed: reason
■ Description: After vxconfigd was stopped and restarted (or disabled and then
enabled), VxVM failed to recreate the import of the indicated disk group. The reason
for failure is specified. Additional error messages may be displayed that give further
information describing the problem.
■ Action: A major cause for this kind of failure is disk failures that were not addressed
before vxconfigd was stopped or disabled. If the problem is a transient disk
failure, then rebooting may take care of the condition. The error may be accompanied
by messages such as ‘‘Disk group has no valid configuration copies.’’ This indicates
that the disk group configuration copies have become corrupt (due to disk failures,
writing on the disk by an application or the administrator, or bugs in VxVM). You
can recreate a disk group configuration by using the procedures given in “Restoring a
disk group configuration” on page 49.
V-5-1-587

reason
■ Description: The import of a disk group failed for the specified reason.
■ Action: The action to be taken depends on the reason given in the error message:
Disk is in use by another host
No valid disk found containing disk group
