Description
Error Message
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-10978 Disk group 1470910909.267.bcrmispdb01: import failed: Record not in disk group
Cause
There is a limitation of 31 characters for a diskgroup name.
Resolution
Ensure that the diskgroup name contains no more than 31 characters.
Example: Figure 1 shows that all of the disks are valid and exist. But when trying to import the diskgroup with a new name, it fails.

The new diskgroup name "cv_isp_db2onlinebkpdg_1472182723" is 32 characters long. This exceeds the maximum characters limit.
After reducing the size of the name to 31 characters ("cv_isp_db2onlinebkpdg_012345678") the diskgroup is successfully imported (Figure 2).
