V-5-1-123
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-123 Disk group group: Disabled by errors
■ Description: This message indicates that some error condition has made it
impossible for VxVM to continue to manage changes to a disk group. The
major reason for this is that too many disks have failed, making it
impossible for vxconfigd to continue to update configuration copies.
There should be a preceding error message that indicates the specific error
that was encountered.
If the disk group that was disabled is the boot disk group, the following
additional error is displayed:
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-104 All transactions are disabled
This additional message indicates that vxconfigd has entered the
disabled state, which makes it impossible to change the configuration of
any disk group, not just the boot disk group.
■ Action: If the underlying error resulted from a transient failure, such as a
disk cabling error, then you may be able to repair the situation by rebooting.
Otherwise, the disk group configuration may have to be recreated by using
the procedures given in “Restoring a disk group configuration” on page 49,
and the contents of any volumes restored from a backup.
V-5-1-124
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-124 Disk group group: update failed: reason
■ Description: I/O failures have prevented vxconfigd from updating any
active copies of the disk group configuration. This usually implies a large
number of disk failures. This error will usually be followed by the error:
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-123 Disk group group: Disabled by
errors
■ Action: If the underlying error resulted from a transient failure, such as a
disk cabling error, then you may be able to repair the situation by rebooting.
Otherwise, the disk group may have to be recreated and restored from a
backup.
V-5-1-134
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-134 Memory allocation failure
■ Description: This implies that there is insufficient memory to start VxVM.
■ Action: This error should not normally occur, unless your system has very
small amounts of memory. Adding swap space will probably not help
because this error is most likely to occur early in the boot sequence, before
swap areas have been added.
