Hi,

Do a find!

I got it from somewhere, I didnt test the below. But check if it works for you

# Configure vxvm so we don't have to run vxinstall ==> do below
rm -rf /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
vxiod set 10
vxconfigd -m disable
vxdctl init
vxdctl initdmp
vxdctl enable

Regards,
Sooraj

What does swlist show?

# swlist -l files | grep vxinstall

It should come with the depot. If the above command gives a result, run vxinstall with the full path.

the correct level is 'file', without the s:

# swlist -l file | grep vxinstall

it seems the vxvm bundle is not installed by default during the OS installation, hence the issue.
issue resolved after re-installing the OS with selection vxvm marked as required (which was "not required" by default).
