Error Message

Jul 23 04:40:43 vxvm:vxconfigd: V-5-1-16764 No enabled configuration copies found
Jul 23 04:40:43 vxvm:vxconfigd: V-5-1-569 Disk group rootdg, Disk fake_array0_1s2: Cannot auto-import group:
Jul 23 04:40:43 vxvm:vxconfigd:         Disk group has no valid configuration copies

Cause

This is due to the VRTSvxvm 6.0.500.305 patch being installed without first installing the VxVM 6.0.5.300.

The README_VTAS.UNOF_6_0_5_30x_kern files for VxVM 6.0.5.301-6.0.5.304 mention that the following patch is required

For example README_VTAS.UNOF_6_0_5_304_kern:

PATCH NAME                   : VRTSvxvm 6.0.500.304
BASE PACKAGE NAME            : VRTSvxvm
BASE PACKAGE VERSION         : 6.0.100.0
SUPERSEDED PATCHES           : UNOF_6_0_5_303_kern
REQUIRED PATCHES             : PVCO_04061    (part of the VxVM 6.0.5.300)

but this dependency was missing in the README_VTAS.UNOF_6_0_5_305_kern file. This has now been added and the patch tarball refreshed. 

 

 

 

Resolution

First install the VxVM 6.0.5.300 patch and then the VRTSvxvm 6.0.500.305 patch.
