Cause

vxodm loaded prior to the multi-user mode. This one caused to load the ODM for the local files support only. In this situation, we can't see the port d in gabconfig output.

Note : This problem related to RHEL 7 systems. 

Resolution

Change the vxodm.service "After "  line as mentioned below and reboot the systems.
