Error Message

If there is a partitioned lun in the setup (used for HPUX LVM),  vxassist fails with the following error:
 

# vxassist -g dg05 make test 4096m                                    

VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-639 Failed to obtain locks:

        disk_3: no such object in the configuration

# vxassist -g arch1dg maxsize

VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-639 Failed to obtain locks:

        disk_3: no such object in the configuration

This is a known issue, which could be reproduced as following:

1. Using idisk to create partitions for one disk (not under VxVM control)
2. Using "insf -e" to create the device files for all the partitions
3. Run vxdisk scandisks
4. Using vxassist to create volume will fail
 

Fix solutions:
1. Restart vxconfigd
# vxconfigd -k -m enable

2. After you run "idisk", "ioscan" and "insf" commands, please run

vxdisk rm
vxdctl cacheflush
vxdisk scandisks

to remove DA records under VxVM control.

3. Delete partitioned lun(s)
