Re: [Veritas-vx] VxVM 4.1, vxconfigd issue
Hi Looking at your modinfo strings, it appears you are using an unpatched version. 199 7bba8000 26920 269 1 vxdmp (VxVM 4.1z: DMP Driver) 209 7ae0 2115c8 270 1 vxio (VxVM 4.1z I/O driver) 210 7bfdce30 13f0 271 1 vxspec (VxVM 4.1z control/status driver) Is the problem observed with the latest patches ?

So I tried to exclude it from Vxvm's view by creating a /etc/vx/disks.exclude file but still it dumps on reaching this disk. Below are some outputs : 1. vxinstall failed, so did the installer from SF cd #vxdctl mode mode: not-running 2. #modinfo |grep vx 199 7bba8000 26920 269 1 vxdmp (VxVM 4.1z: DMP Driver) 209 7ae0 2115c8 270 1 vxio (VxVM 4.1z I/O driver) 210 7bfdce30 13f0 271 1 vxspec (VxVM 4.1z control/status driver) 3. vxconfigd -x 2 -k -x log -x logfile=/tmp/vxconfigd.out In this output file I could see VX gets stuck at disk c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d2 which is a symmetrix VCM.It fails with VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-0 Bus error - core dumped I tried to avoid VX from seeing this disk by creating a disks.exclude.

Is there any way to overcome the VCM disk from being scanned by VX? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-vx] VxVM 4.1, vxconfigd issue
1000 isn't a particularly large number of LUNs, even for 4.1 (although 5.0 will handle such configurations much better and faster). Can you open a support case for this?
