Resolution

ISSUE:
After  excluding an emcpower device without suppressing all native paths, FAKE_ENCLR_SNO gets added to the /etc/vx/array.info file.
 
ERROR MESSAGE:
VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-34 added disk array FAKE_ENCLR_SNO, datype = FAKE_ARRAY
 
SOLUTION:
Suppress the emcpower device, and all it's native paths with vxdiskadm option 17, and option2. Then remove the array.info file, and restart vxconfigd.
 
# vxdiskadm(option 17, and 2)
# rm /etc/vx/array.info
# vxconfigd-k
 
The /etc/vx/vxvm exclude file should now include the emcpower device with all it's native paths, and the /etc/vx/array.info file should not have the FAKE_ENCLR_SNO entry.
