Error Messages

This chapter provides information on error messages associated with the VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) configuration daemon (vxconfigd), the kernel, and other utilities. It covers most informational, failure, and error messages displayed on the console by vxconfigd, and by the VERITAS Volume Manager kernel driver, vxio. These include some errors that are infrequently encountered and difficult to troubleshoot.

Clarifications are included to elaborate on the situation or problem that generated a particular message. Wherever possible, a recovery procedure (Action) is provided to help you to locate and correct the problem.

You may find it useful to consult the VxVM command and transaction logs to understand the context in which an error occurred. See Logging Commands and Transactions for more information.
