V-5-1-484
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-484 Cannot start volume volume, no valid
complete plexes
■ Description: These errors indicate that the volume cannot be started
because the volume contains no valid complete 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-5-1-525
VxVM vxconfigd NOTICE V-5-1-525 Detached log for volume volume
■ Description: The DRL or RAID-5 log for the named volume was detached as a
result of a disk failure, or as a result of the administrator removing a disk
with vxdg -k rmdisk. A failing disk is indicated by a “Detached disk”
message.
■ Action: If the log is mirrored, hot-relocation tries to relocate the failed log
automatically. Use either vxplex dis or vxsd dis to remove the failing
logs. Then, use vxassist addlog (see the vxassist(1M) manual page) to
add a new log to the volume.
V-5-1-526
VxVM vxconfigd NOTICE V-5-1-526 Detached plex plex in volume volume
■ Description: The specified plex was disabled as a result of a disk failure, or as
a result of the administrator removing a disk with vxdg -k rmdisk. A
failing disk is indicated by a “Detached disk” message.
■ 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.
