Start vxconfigd with the reset option to start it successfully.

# vxconfigd -k -r reset -x syslog 

-r reset  Resets all Veritas Volume Manager configuration iinformation stored in the kernel as part of startup processing. Please note the reset fails if any volume devices are in use, or if an imported shared disk group exists.

If the system has encapsulated bootdisk, we need to do a reconfigure reboot using:

# reboot -- -r
