V-5-1-2830

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2830 Disk reserved by other host

■ Description: An attempt was made to online a disk whose controller has been

reserved by another host in the cluster.

■ Action: No action is necessary. The cluster manager frees the disk and VxVM puts it

online when the node joins the cluster.

V-5-1-2860

VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-2860 Transaction already in progress

■ Description: One of the disk groups specified in a disk group move, split or join

operation is currently involved in another unrelated disk group move, split or join

operation (possibly as the result of recovery from a system failure).

■ Action: Use the vxprint command to display the status of the disk groups involved.

vxprint shows that the TUTIL0 field for a disk group is set to MOVE, and you

are certain that no disk group move, split or join should be in progress, use the

vxdg

command to clear the field as described in “Recovering from incomplete disk group

moves” on page 25. Otherwise, retry the operation.

V-5-1-2866

VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-2866 object: Record already exists in disk group

■ Description: A disk group join operation failed because the name of an object in one

disk group is the same as the name of an object in the other disk group. Such name

clashes are most likely to occur for snap objects and snapshot plexes.

■ Action: Use the following command to change the object name in either one of the

disk groups:

# vxedit -g diskgroup rename old_name new_name

For more information about using the vxedit command, see the vxedit(1M)

manual page.

V-5-1-2870

VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-2870 volume: Volume or plex device is open or

mounted

■ Description: An attempt was made to perform a disk group move, split or join on a

disk group containing an open volume.

■ Action: It is most likely that a file system configured on the volume is still mounted.

Stop applications that access volumes configured in the disk group, and unmount any

file systems configured in the volumes.
