    Hi Sardesh,

    Looks like SF 50MP3 is not configured during install. Try vxinstall command

    and say yes to reconfigure, and respond to 3 questions. It should work after.

     

    Just for info, is rootdisk under SDS control and mirrored? If so there are some known

    issues if the root mirror is not fully synced, it loads old kernel and uses new binary.

    Verify the same and update us.

     

    Regards

    Srini

Maybe give us a bit more info on steps taken during uninstall and new install?

Was the boot-disk encapsulated under 3.5? Did you unencapsulate before uninstalling?

When you installed 5.0MP3 - did you complete the configuration steps at the end?

Please find the installation log and post as an attachment.

If you have used 'installer' the log file will be under /opt/VRTS/install/logs/installer-xxxxxx

Which O/S version on your server?
