encapsulation process ends in segmentation fault

[Lumir_Unzeitig]

Hi all,

encapsulation process ends in segmentation fault erro (part )r. The failed command is "vxslicer" binary writing file /etc/vx/reconfig.d/slicer.lastlog. The disk layout is properly partitioned for encapsulation.

The vxencap error message  is:

 ...................................................

 Continue with encapsulation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

  A new disk group dg00 will be created and the disk device sdc will
  be encapsulated and added to the disk group with the disk name rootdisk.

Enter desired private region length
[<privlen>,q,?] (default: 65536)

  VxVM vxencap INFO V-5-2-1923 Encapsulating root disk...

  VxVM  ERROR V-5-2-2604 The encapsulation operation failed with the following error:

This bahaviour is on both 2 systems which we have tested (RedhatEL4.3, Veritas Storage Foundation 5.00, Oracle, SAP). When we installed a new system in this config, the sam diska layout, it works fine.

Any help is appricated.

Thanks
