Resolution


1. Check what the current UUID value:

# /etc/vx/uuid/bin/osuuid list
{c7f35764-1dd1-11b2-ba5e-000e7f7e0fb4}

This should match the hostguid field in /etc/vx/volboot

2. Reset the UUID:

# /etc/vx/uuid/bin/osuuid create --reset
0
# /etc/vx/uuid/bin/osuuid list
{65e4c722-1dd2-11b2-a52e-000e7f7e0fb4}


3. Remove the original volboot file:

# rm /etc/vx/volboot

4. Stop vxconfigd:

# vxdctl stop
# vxconfigd -k -m disable



5. Recreate volboot file:

# vxdctl init
# vxdctl enable
