V-5-1-545
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-545 Disk disk in group group locked by
host hostid Disk skipped
■ Description: The given disk is listed as locked by the host with the Veritas
Volume Manager host ID (usually the same as the system host name).
■ Action: This message can usually be ignored. If you want to use the disk on
this system, use vxdiskadd to add the disk. Do not do this if the disk really
is shared with other systems.
V-5-1-546
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-546 Disk disk in group group: Disk device
not found
■ Description: No physical disk can be found that matches the named disk in
the given disk group. This is equivalent to failure of that disk. (Physical disks
are located by matching the disk IDs in the disk group configuration records
against the disk IDs stored in the Veritas Volume Manager header on the
physical disks.) This error message is displayed for any disk IDs in the
configuration that are not located in the disk header of any physical disk.
This may result from a transient failure such as a poorly-attached cable, or
from a disk that fails to spin up fast enough. Alternately, this may happen as
a result of a disk being physically removed from the system, or from a disk
that has become unusable due to a head crash or electronics failure.
Any RAID-5 plexes, DRL log plexes, RAID-5 subdisks or mirrored plexes
containing subdisks on this disk are unusable. Such disk failures
(particularly on multiple disks) may cause one or more volumes to become
unusable.
■ 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-5-1-554
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-554 Disk disk names group group, but
group ID differs
■ Description: As part of a disk group import, a disk was discovered that had a
mismatched disk group name and disk group ID. This disk is not imported.
This can only happen if two disk groups have the same name but have
different disk group ID values. In such a case, one group is imported along
with all its disks and the other group is not. This message appears for disks
in the un-selected group.
