Errors with 11i vxvm

[Etienne Holm]

After installing 2 systems with 11i and configuring the boot mirror I noticed the following errors at boot up.
vxvm: vxconfigd : ERROR enable failed Volboot file not loaded transactions are diabled
vxvm: vxconfigd FATAL ERRO Rootdg cannot be imported during boot
vxvm: vxconfigd : ERROR enable failed Volboot file not loaded transactions are diabled

vxvm: Vold is not enabled for transactions No volumes started

The above message also appears in my rc.log

The system seems to be working correctly and I can boot of the secondary boot disk.

Maybe, you are hitting a known problem with VxVM during cold installations. I assume you are not using VxVM yet? Simply try:

# mkdir -p /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/
# touch /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db

Then reboot and see if the problem persists.
