vxconfigd not starting

Jino PV — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:55:13 GMT

Hi I have a system with Redhat enterprise Linux 4. I have installed veritas storage foundation. After installation, I am unable to strt vxconfigd. Here is the error I get.

"VxVM vxconfigd FATAL ERROR V-5-1-8379 vxdmp driver not loaded on the system. This version of VxVM mandatorily requires vxdmp to be loaded. Exiting."

Can any one help me on this?

Thanks and regards

Jino

Looks like something's wrong with the installed module.
Do you see a loaded "vxdmp" module with lsmod?
Try to load manually: "insmod vxdmp".

If this is a fresh install, check the veritas install logs for errors/warnings!

My 2 cents,
Armin

Its a fresh install. In install log too its giving errors related to driver. With vx related commands, its giving the error "VxVM vxdmpadm INFO V-5-1-4084 vxdmp module is not loaded on the system. DMP is disabled."

see the output of your command
[root@kripa test]# insmod vxdmp
insmod: can't read 'vxdmp': No such file or directory

I don't have a veritas system here to try/check, so this is from memory:
Try to find the vxdmp module in /lib/modules//...
The name should be similar to vxdmp.ko.
E.g. try find /lib -name "vx*"

If you don't find anything, the installation is not complete.
If it's there and insmod works, /etc/modules.conf might miss some entries.
The last question: Is RHEL4 supported by your Veritas SF version?

My 2 cents,
Armin
