Description

Error Message

 

# vxdisksetup -i emcpower6

VxVM ERROR V-5-1-15404 vxmediadisc: Device path /dev/rdsk/emcpower6cs2 does not exist.
VxVM INFO V-5-1-15407 Usage: vxmediadisc [-p]
prtvtoc: /dev/rdsk/emcpower6cs2: No such file or directory

Cause

Use of an uninitialized variable. On previous Solaris patches it was getting initialized to 0 so the error was not seen.

Resolution

This error is cosmetic only. The disk does get initialized and is completely functional. This has been confirmed by Veritas Engineering and can be verified with "vxdisk list"

# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
disk_0 auto:SVM - - SVM
disk_1 auto:SVM - - SVM

emcpower6s2 auto:cdsdisk - - online

A fix will be released in a future patch.

Applies To

 

Solaris 10 with kernel patch 147440-20 or later

Storage Foundation 5.1

or

Storage Foundation 6.0
