Error Message

"VxVM vxsnap ERROR V-5-1-7061 Volume VOLUME_NAME is not instant ready"

 

Resolution

By default, FastResync is not enabled on newly created volume.


To determine if the volume in a diskgroup is turned on, one can use the following command;
#  vxprint -g  -m  | grep -i fast
or

vxprint -g  -F %fastresync

Sample output:
#  vxprint-g mydg -m |grep -i fast
       fastresync=off

The "fastresync" feature can be toggled using the below commands:

# vxvol -g set fastresync=off  
#vxvol -g set fastresync=on
