Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Troubleshooting Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

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 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.
Recommended 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 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.
