Cause

The vxconfigd is corrupted.

vxdctl: Configuration daemon is not accessible
ldd: /sbin/vxconfigd: execution failed due to signal 11 (core dumped)
VxVM  NOTICE V-5-2-3365 VxVM not started

 

Resolution

Since the vxconfigd was corrupted,  copy the file  from /sbin/vxconfigd.SunOS_5.9   (for Solaris 9) to /usr/sbin/vxconfigd.

Substitute the source file /sbin/vxconfigd.SunOS_5.10 if the system is running Solaris 10.

# cp /sbin/vxconfigd.SunOS_5.9  /usr/sbin/vxconfigd

 

Remove any files that might be in /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d

#rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/*

Run vxdiskadm and choose option #2 to  encapsulate the boot disk.
