Description

Error Message

# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i sdr format=cdsdisk
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device sdr: init failed:
Memory allocation failure

 

Cause

The root cause of this issue is a memory allocation failure. This failure occurs when the system is unable to allocate the necessary memory resources to complete the vxdisksetup process. Insufficient memory or conflicts with other processes running on the server can contribute to this issue.

 

Resolution

To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:

  1. restart the vxconfigd daemon. This action may clear the condition:

    # vxconfigd -k -m enable

  2. If the above step doesn't help, reboot the server, which should free up memory resources.
