Dec 18 09:32:37 BARNEY vxdmp: [ID 443116 kern.notice] NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-0 i/o error occured (errno=0x5) on dmpnode 316/0x19b
For new VxVM versions, you may also see
# vxdg import datadg
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-19179 Disk group datadg: import failed:
SCSI-3 PR Reservation Conflict error
Cause
The vxprivutil is capable of capturing the diskgroup configuration details.
# /etc/vx/diag.d/vxprivutil dumpconfig /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s3 > /dg.dump
The dumpconfig details can be validated.
# cat dg.dump | vxprint -D - -qht
On closer inspection, keys are registered against the disk in question.
# vi /tmp/disks
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006048C53697980d55s2
To validate if keys are registered, in this instance they are.
# vxfenadm -g all -f /tmp/disks
For later versions, use
# vxfenadm -s all -f /tmp/disks
Resolution
Remove the keys registered against the disk in question for the "datadg" diskgroup.
# vxfenadm -a -k TMP -f /tmp/disks
# vxfenadm -c -k TMP -f /tmp/disks
Now try and import the impacted diskgroup
# vxdg import datadg
The diskgroup now imports fine.
Applies To
