[daza]

installed SF50MP3 on Solaris 10 and it has been running ok until we have rebooted the system. now VEA will not start. Tried to run #install -configure and got these messages. Unable to run any of the modules below. Any ideas are welcome, I am new to Storage Foundation. Have followed all directions from http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/286164.htm

Hello,

This sounds strange, can you verify that VEA packages are installed correctly & are not displaying any errors ?

# pkgchk VRTSob

# pkgchk VRTSobgui

# pkgchk VRTSvxvm

Does this reports clean ?

Also few more questions,

a) what update you are running with sol 10 ? I think U6 would be best & it works

b) Do you have many virtual NICs configured on the server ?
