Description

Error Message

Error on stat() /dev/vx/dsk/datadg/vol1: No such file or directory
 
 

Resolution


1. Make sure to import DG without -t option and do not deport it before reboot
  If the DG is deported, the Host ID flag gets cleared for the disks belonging to that DG and system will not import it during next reboot

2.  Add mount option hotplug in /etc/fstab and fs_passno (sixth's option) should be1
For example:
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/vol1/mnt/vol1      vxfs    _netdev,hotplug            01

With this configuration, system fsck will skip it during, boot but vxvm-boot script will do fsck
