The Solaris operating system and the Veritas Stroage Foundation both were upgraded.  The upgrade was done by using Solaris Live Upgrade and not by Veritas Storage Foundation installation program (e.g. installsf).   The stale shared libraries from previous Solaris version was not cleaned up properly.

Version SUNW_1.22 is not listed in the above libc.so.1 file and caused vxconfgd fail to start.

Remove all the shared libraries from /etc/vx/slib except those files starting with libvx and
start vxconfigd using below command.

# vxconfigd -x syslog -m enable


Note: 

In the SMF method /lib/svc/method/vxvm-startup2, we only need to copy the "libvx" libraries for Solaris 10 and 11.

if [ "$rel" = "5.10" -o "$rel" = "5.11" ]
then
    # For Solaris 10 release, only copy the vxvm
    # libraries (libvx).
    # Stop vxconfigd before copying libraries as to avoid corruption.
