vxdisksetup failure

[Roberto Volsa]

Hello all
i need to initialize a disk under veritas but the command failed:
/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -if c12t13d
VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-43 c12t13d4: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup

The disk was used under LVM but it was cleaned with pvcreate -f and pvremove

Any hints?

Thanks and regards
RV

I am not aware of any -f option

try this option
vxdisksetup -i c12t13d4

Hello Roberto,

have you tried to supply the full device file to the vxdisksetup command ?

e.g. /dev/dsk/c12t13d4 or /dev/rdsk/c12t13d4

Post vxdisk list c12t13d4

[Roberto Volsa]

# vxdisk list c12t13d4
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-558 Disk c12t13d4: Disk not in the configuration

I checked licenses:
# vxlicense -p
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: No valid license installed

This way it will never work

Yeaa... Seems like license problem..
