When troubleshooting issues of importing shared disk groups(import hangs or gets errors), the following procedures, commands, and data gathering should be followed.

a. Please get the vxconfigd log at the time of issue.

# vxconfigd -k -x mstimestamp -x 9 >/tmp/vxconfigd.log  2>&1 > /tmp/vxconfigd.log
# time vxdisk  -o alldgs list
# vxconfigd -k  /*Stop the vxconfigd in debug mode

b.  Collect the kernel trace for the vxdisk -o alldgs list command which takes more time.

# trace -al -T 128000000 -L 256000000 -o /var/tmp/trace.raw

# time vxdisk  -o alldgs list  /* which takes more time you reported it takes 36 sec*/
#trcstop
# trcrpt-O exec=on,pid=on,tid=on,svc=on,cpuid=on  /var/tmp/trace.raw >/tmp/trace_report

c. Collect the process stack at  at the timeof issue:

#/usr/bin/procstack -F
#/usr/bin/procstack -F

d.Collect the truss of vxconfigd and vxdisk -o alldgs list command

First start this command:

# truss  -dD -o /tmp/vxconfigd_truss.log -p  &
# truss -dD  -o /tmp/vxdisk_alldg_truss.log vxdisk -o alldgs list  /* As soon as this command has completed, then kill the truss of the vxconfigd command */

send /tmp/vxconfigd_truss.log and /tmp/vxdisk_alldg_truss.log file to Veritas support.

Additional commands:

# ps -ef | grep -i vxconfig
   root 14610     1   008:34:34      -  0:03 vxconfigd -k -m disable
   root 23934 22532   008:47:05  pts/0  0:00 grep -i vxconfig

e. When you see this issue please force the system dump.
Also, be sure and run this command after forcing the system dump

# snap -ac /* send the ***.pax.Z File to Veritas support */

# tprof -skeuj -x "command"
