V-5-1-583
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-583 Disk group group: Reimport of disk
group failed: reason
Description:
After vxconfigd was stopped and restarted (or disabled and then enabled), VxVM
failed to recreate the import of the indicated disk group. The reason for failure is
specified. Additional error messages may be displayed that give further
information describing the problem.
Recommended action:
A major cause for this kind of failure is disk failures that were not addressed
before vxconfigd was stopped or disabled. If the problem is a transient disk failure,
then rebooting may take care of the condition. The error may be accompanied by
messages such as “Disk group has no valid configuration copies.” This indicates
that the disk group configuration copies have become corrupt (due to disk failures,
writing on the disk by an application or the administrator, or bugs in VxVM).
Use the vxconfigrestore utility to restore or recreate a disk group from its
configuration backup.
See “Restoring a disk group configuration” on page 57.
V-5-1-587
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-587 disk group groupname: import failed: reason
Description:
The import of a disk group failed for the specified reason.
Recommended action:
The action to be taken depends on the reason given in the error message:
Disk is in use by another host
No valid disk found containing disk group
The first message indicates that disks have been moved from a system that has
crashed or that failed to detect the group before the disk was moved. The locks
stored on the disks must be cleared.
The second message indicates that the disk group does not contain any valid disks
(not that it does not contain any disks). The disks may be considered invalid due
to a mismatch between the host ID in their configuration copies and that stored
in the /etc/vx/volboot file.
To clear locks on a specific set of devices, use the following command:
