I have had a number of ocations where I had to ^C out of vxbrk_rootmir as it hangs on
/etc/vx/diag.d/vxprivutil. Has anyone had this before. See attachment.

Peter,

Make sure that you have the latest VxVM Cumulative patches, vxprivutil hanging has also been fixed by those patches.

Regards,

Jaime.

Hi Peter,

VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-558 Disk c2t6d0: Disk not in the configuration

Are there any error messages in the /var/adm/syslog/sylog.log file during the command execution?

Regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi Robert-Jan, no errors in syslog.log.

I think that error is genearated due to the s2 extention added to the disk when a root disk is added. Removing the disk from rootdg then looks for c2t6d0 and not c2t6d0s2

OK, the vxprivutil used to hang but on 11.11, but the latest patch for 11.23 added the support for the -D option, and that is where the command is hanging.

This is the patch that you need:

PHCO_37833

Please remember to assign points to the people that is helping you out :-)

Regards,

Jaime.

Thanks Jaime, sorry took so long to reply I have been away for a week. The patch you metion is for vxvm version 3.5. We are running v4.1 so it does not apply to my senario.
