Veritas notes

The following notes are for Veritas Volume Manager 3.2 for Solaris.

"vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Error in disk group configuration copies

Disk group has no valid configuration copies; transactions are disabled."

When receiving this error during system boot and when running vxinstall, follow the

steps detailed in http!!www.eng.auburn.edu!pub!mail"lists!veritas"

users.May##!msg$$$%&.html

'n my case, the rootdg configuration was apparently corrupted. (fter issuing touchetcvxreconfig.dstate.dinstall!db and rebooting the machine, ' was able to run

vxinstall.

vxvm:vxdg: ERROR: Disk group disk_group: import failed: Disk group has no valid

configuration copies"

This error can occur when attempting to import a dis) group that was configured using a

later version of V*VM. 'n this case, the dis) group was configured with V*VM 3.2, butV*VM 3.+.+ was installed.

pgrading to at least the same version of V*VM used to configure the dis) group will

allow the dis) group to be imported.

"ld.so.%: vxconfigd: fatal: libdevid.so.%: open failed: &o such file or director'"

With Solaris & and V*VM 3.2, the shared library libdevid.so.1does not get copied to/etc/vx/slibafter installing Veritas. 'f you do not manually copy this shared library to

/etc/vx/slib, your system will not boot. -ollow these steps to ma)e your system bootable
