Rana,

Check this doc.

Title: SYS ADM: Error "vmunix: vxfs: mesg 010: vx_ialloc...." errors

You will have to reboot your server in single user mode, run a full fsck on the unmounted filesystem (/var).

# fsck -F vxfs -o full,nolog /dev/vg00/lvol7

Shalom Rana,

There is a problem with the disk the /var filesystem is sitting on.

This is relatively serious and could lead to the /var filesystem eventually not mounting.

I would check the disk with mstm,cstm or xstm and prepare to back up the data and replace the disk.
