Description

Error Message

The StorageAgent.log would report an error as: Configuration daemon can't speak protocol version 
 
Below is a snippet from the log
 
LoadProvider: loading provider osfs_provider from location/opt/VRTSfspro/lib/osfs_provider.so
LoadProvider: loading provider vxvmprovider from location/opt/VRTSvmpro/lib/vxvmprovider.so
vxvmprovider.so version (5.0.3.0_AND_5.5)
VxVM Provider initialization warning: Configuration daemon can't speak protocol version
LoadProvider: provider vxvmprovider loaded
 

Cause

The message means the VRTSvmpro (the module that send vxvm object information to VEA server side) is unable to communicate with vxvm daemon (likely vxconfigd) due to version protocol mismatch
 

Resolution

Uninstall the VRTSvmpro 5.0mp3 version and install the appropriate VRTSvmpro pkg version 
 
1. Stop the Storage agent:
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S75vxpal.StorageAgentstop
 
2. Uninstall the current VRTSvmpro package
# installp-u VRTSvmpro
 
3. Install the pkg for 5.0 "ga" 
# installp-a -d VRTSvmpro
 
4. Apply the patch using the pkg "mp1":
# installp-a -d VRTSvmpro
 
5. Start the Storage agent:
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S75vxpal.StorageAgentstart
