[Siju Vadakkan]

try following steps

1. vxdisk scandisks
2. vxdisk list

if still the problem persists do the following steps.

mv /etc/vx/disk.info /etc/vx/disk.info.old
vxconfigd -k -m enable
ioscan -fnC disk
vxdisk list

As previously mentioned in this thread, these steps do not work.

David,

Check if your VxVm is Licensed
vxlicense -t VxVM
vxlicense -p

ioscan -fn
insf -e
vxdctl enable

vxdg free
vxdg list
vxdisk -o alldgs list
vxdisk -s list c4t4d0
/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c4t4d0

Run vxconfig in debug mode:
vxconfigd â k â m enable â x9 â x log >/var/tmp/vxconfigd.log 2>&1

GoodLuck

Issue is now sorted, thanks to all those who replied. The problem was that vxddladm listjbod showed the system was looking at the first 10 characters of the serial ID for Fujitsu disks, not the full 12 and in our case the first 10 characters were all the same so it was being seen as multiple paths to the same disk.

# vxddladm rmjbod vid=FUJITSU
# vxddladm addjbod vid=FUJITSU length=12
# rm /etc/vx/disk.info

and a reboot solved the problem.

I am speaking out of ignorance here. I haven't used VXVM.

From your question, it looks a lot harder to use than traditional logical volume managment (LVM).

Are the commands really so goofy?
