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

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: transactions are
disabled
Evaluate the error messages to determine the root cause of the problem. Make
changes suggested by the errors and then try rerunning the command.
If the “Errors in some configuration copies” error occurs again, that may indicate
the real problem lies with the configuration copies in the disk group.
See “Restoring a disk group configuration” on page 57.
V-5-1-2020
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2020 Cannot kill existing daemon,
pid=process_ID
Description:
The -k (kill existing vxconfigd process) option was specified, but a running
configuration daemon process could not be killed. A configuration daemon process,
for purposes of this discussion, is any process that opens the /dev/vx/config
device (only one process can open that device at a time). If there is a configuration
daemon process already running, then the -k option causes a SIGKILL signal to
be sent to that process. If, within a certain period of time, there is still a running
configuration daemon process, the error message is displayed.
Recommended action:
This error can result from a kernel error that has made the configuration daemon
process unkillable, from some other kind of kernel error, or from some other user
starting another configuration daemon process after the SIGKILL signal. This last
condition can be tested for by running vxconfigd -k again. If the error message
reappears, contact Veritas Technical Support.

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-2197 node N: missing vxconfigd
