Error Message

VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-14800 Given operation is supported only for paths which are claimed as JBOD

Cause

Functionality was removed for non-JBOD arrays.

Resolution

To achieve the desired effect of modifying a path's attribute to "active" in  5.1 -  the following sequence of commands are necessary:


bash-3.00# modinfo | grep vx
 25  1325870  4d358 328   1  vxdmp (VxVM 5.1 DMP Driver)
 27 7be00000 1f8df8 329   1  vxio (VxVM 5.1 I/O driver)
 29 7bfda980    d38 330   1  vxspec (VxVM 5.1 control/status driver)

bash-3.00# vxdmpadm setattr path c2t5006016830602E22d0s2 pathtype=active
VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-14530 specific attribute for the path already exists
 

From the Volume Manager Administration Guide : https://docs.infoscale.com Pg 193  

In the "Setting the attributes of the paths to an enclosure"

 

 

active: Changes a standby (failover) path to an active path.

Thus the following commands have the desired effect of changing the pathtype attribute to active:

bash-3.00# vxdmpadm setattr path c2t5006016830602E22d0s2 pathtype=standby
bash-3.00# vxdmpadm setattr path c2t5006016830602E22d0s2 pathtype=active

 

 

Applies To

Volume Manager version 5.1 and higher.
