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

Regular startup of vxconfigd failed. This error can also result from the command

vxdctl enable. This message has several variations, described below:

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: aborting

The failure was fatal and vxconfigd was forced to exit. The most likely cause is

that the operating system is unable to create interprocess communication channels

to other utilities.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: Error check group

configuration copies. Database file not found

The directory /var/vxvm/tempdb is inaccessible. This may be because of root file

system corruption, a full root file system, or if /var is a separate file system,

because it has become corrupted or has not been mounted.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: transactions are

disabled

vxconfigd continues to run, but no configuration updates are possible until the

error condition is repaired.

Additionally, this may be followed with this message:

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-579 Disk group group: Errors in some

configuration copies: Disk device, copy number: Block bno: error ...

Other error messages may be displayed that further indicate the underlying

problem.

Recommended action:

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: aborting

The failure was fatal and vxconfigd was forced to exit. The most likely cause is

that the operating system is unable to create interprocess communication channels

to other utilities.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: Error check group

configuration copies. Database file not found

If the root file system is full, increase its size or remove files to make space for

the tempdb file.

If /var is a separate file system, make sure that it has an entry in /etc/fstab.

Otherwise, look for I/O error messages during the boot process that indicate either

a hardware problem or misconfiguration of any logical volume management

software being used for the /var file system. Also verify that the encapsulation

(if configured) of your boot disk is complete and correct.
