    a disk in error state usually mean disk has i/o related issue.

    From vxvm 4.1 (hope I remembered the vetrsion correctly) onwards, disk in error state indicating the disk has an i/o relaetd issue.

    you need to do the followings

    1. check system log to see if there are any scsi relaetd errors against disks

    2. check /etc/vx/dmpevents.log for disk scsi read/write errors

    3. run the command below

    vxdmpadm getsubpaths | grep -i disable

    vxdmpadm listctlr all

    do know if there are issues with dmp paths

    4. if there are no scsi error, run vxdisksetup -i <disk> to inmitialize one disk to see if it works and if the command makes the disk online.

    By the way, what is the OS version and vxvm, version?;

    Regards,
