■ Action: If the disks should be imported into the group, this must be done by
adding the disk to the group at a later stage, during which all configuration
information for the disk is lost.
V-5-1-557
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-557 Disk disk, group group, device device:
not updated with new host ID
Error: reason
■ Description: This can result from using vxdctl hostid to change the
Veritas Volume Manager host ID for the system. The error indicates that one
of the disks in a disk group could not be updated with the new host ID. This
usually indicates that the disk has become inaccessible or has failed in some
other way.
■ Action: Try running the following command to determine whether the disk
is still operational:
# vxdisk check device
If the disk is no longer operational, vxdisk should print a message such as:
device: Error: Disk write failure
This will result in the disk being taken out of active use in its disk group, if it
has not already been taken out of use. If the disk is still operational, which
should not be the case, vxdisk prints:
device: Okay
If the disk is listed as “Okay,” try running vxdctl hostid again. If it still
results in an error, contact Veritas Technical Support.
V-5-1-568
VxVM vxconfigd WARNING V-5-1-568 Disk group group is disabled, disks
not updated with new host ID
■ Description: As a result of failures, the named disk group has become
disabled. Earlier error messages should indicate the cause. This message
indicates that disks in that disk group were not updated with a new Veritas
Volume Manager host ID. This warning message should result only from a
vxdctl hostid operation.
■ Action: Typically, unless a disk group was disabled due to transient errors,
there is no way to repair a disabled disk group. The disk group may have to
be reconstructed from scratch. If the disk group was disabled due to a
transient error such as a cabling problem, then a future reboot may not
automatically import the named disk group, due to the change in the
system’s Veritas Volume Manager host ID. In such a case, import the disk
group directly using vxdg import with the -C option.
