# vxconfigd
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Volboot file not loaded
transactions are disabled.

All the files are there as said in that link as,

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

Thanks.

AND, I have tried to reboot again. But it did not help me out.

Did you search in the manual (I think you are talking about Veritas Volume Manager?):

Run this and follow the prompts:
#vxinstall

Boot into lvm maintenance mode:


#mv /etc/vx/volboot /etc/vx/volboot.old

recreate volboot file:
#vxconfigd -km disable

#ls -l /etc/vx/volboot

#vxdctl init

#vxdctl list
hostid unknown?

#ls -l /etc/vx/volboot

#vxdctl init

#vxdctl list (you should see new hostid)

#shutdown -ry 0
