Hi,
The issue is rectified thanks to sathish who suggested I should upgrade to
MP2. Now VX does not core dump while scanning the VCM device.....
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, I think I have got to know why this is happening
with help from Mark. vxconfigd in debug mode shows that it fails after it finds
a symmetrix VCM device. 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 7ae00000 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".
Except 15 disks I have included rest of the disks in "disks.exclude"
#cat /etc/vx/disks.exclude
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d2
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d317
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d318
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d319
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d320
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d321
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d322
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d323
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d324
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d325

::::
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1302
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1303
c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1304
But still vxconfigd searches for all the disks and fails at
"c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d2" . Is there any way to overcome the VCM disk from being
scanned by VX?
Any help is appreciated. I do not have the luxury of getting a call raised with
veritas :(
Thanks,
Ashish

Thanks for your replies Dmitry and Mark. I had forgotten to run vxinstall. But
even after I had it could not start vxconfigd.So I removed all VRTS packages
did a reconfig boot and re-installed Veritas using the storage foundation 4.1
"installer" script which does the configuration and installation. Even this
failed during configuration stage....
:::
Starting vxconfigd for VxVM on linbgm011
..................................................................... Failed
::::
None of the target systems can be configured because 1) its previous
configuration was restored, 2) the vxconfigd daemon
is not running properly, or 3) VxVM is already configured.
Use the vxdctl(1M) command to configure the default disk group after the
installation is completed.
Press [Return] to continue:
Volume Manager default disk group setup and daemon startup
vxconfigd on linbgm011 is not available; installer cannot set the default
disk group.
As vxconfigd is not enabled on linbgm011, VxVM daemons will not be started.
Is vxconfigd failing due to the large number of luns?
Thanks,
Ashish
