vxfen: not starting due to missing diskgroup fendg
Cause
A trailing space in the /etc/vxfendg file resulted in an incorrect diskgroup name being sourced by the startup script.
# cat /etc/vxfendg
fendg
# cat -vet /etc/vxfendg
fendg $ >>> shows the space at the end of diskgroup name.
Resolution
Remove any trailing/leading spaces in /etc/vxfendg
# vi /etc/vxfendg
- After that restart vxfen
# /etc/init.d/vxfen stop
# /etc/init.d/vxfen start
