Cause
In some situations, the Veritas 6.2.X Version CPI Program installer removes the drivers during the process of upgrade/stop operations, but the drivers are not re-added.
Resolution
Execute the following commands:
# add_drv -m '* 0640 root sys' vxportal
# modload vxportal
# add_drv -m '* 0640 root sys' fdd
# modload fdd
Note: If add_drv shows the following message, then reboot the system:
-bash-4.4# add_drv -v -n vxportal
Reboot client to install driver.
Driver (vxportal) installed.
-bash-4.4# add_drv -v -n fdd
Reboot client to install driver.
Driver (fdd) installed.
