V-5-1-117
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-117 Cannot start volume volume, no valid
plexes
■ Description: This error indicates that the volume cannot be started because
it does not contain any valid plexes. This can happen, for example, if disk
failures have caused all plexes to be unusable. It can also happen as a result
of actions that caused all plexes to become unusable (for example, forcing
the dissociation of subdisks or detaching, dissociation, or offlining of
plexes).
■ Action: It is possible that this error results from a drive that failed to spin
up. If so, rebooting may fix the problem. If that does not fix the problem,
then the only recourse is to repair the disks involved with the plexes and
restore the file system from a backup.
V-5-1-121
VxVM vxconfigd NOTICE V-5-1-121 Detached disk disk
■ Description: The named disk appears to have become unusable and was
detached from its disk group. Additional messages may appear to indicate
other records detached as a result of the disk detach.
■ Action: If hot-relocation is enabled, Veritas Volume Manager 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-5-1-122
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-122 Detaching plex plex from volume
volume
■ Description: This error only happens for volumes that are started
automatically by vxconfigd at system startup. The plex is being detached
as a result of I/O failure, disk failure during startup or prior to the last
system shutdown or crash, or disk removal prior to the last system
shutdown or crash.
■ Action: To ensure that the file system retains the same number of active
mirrors, remove the given plex and add a new mirror using the
vxassist
mirror
operation. Also consider replacing any bad disks before running this
command.
