Error Message

V-5-1-8726 /dev/vx/info: no such device or address

V-5-1-7840 cannot open /dev/vx/config: No such device or address

The issue is observed when the old kernel VxVM module links are not available in the relevant folder (ie "/lib/modules//veritas/vxvm") and so cannot be loaded. .

The following steps can be used as a workaround for this issue:

# touch /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-upgrade 

# systemctl stop vxvm-boot.service 

# systemctl start vxvm-boot.service

Note : This issue will be fixed in upcoming VxVM versions.
