vxconfigd daemon is not starting

[sardeshpande197]

Hi

I have just uninstall vxvm 3.5 and installed VxVM 5.0MP3 but during reboot i got given below error.

obpsym: symbolic debugging is available.
Hardware watchdog enabled
NOTICE: VxVM not started

vxdctl: Configuration daemon is not accessible
VxVM  NOTICE V-5-2-3365 VxVM not started
The system is coming up.  Please wait.
checking vxfs filesystems

Once system comes in single user mode then Ineed to perfom   #vxconfigd -k   -> #vxvol -g <dg name>startall ->mountall 

Does anyone ever come across this problem....

Any help would greatly appreciated.

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?

This is solaris 9 box. Boot disk is not under veritas control.

Steps to uninstall vxvm 3.5

1) vxdctl stop , vxiod -f set 0

2)Uninstall VRTS packages excpet VRTSvlic

3)install VxVM 5.0MP3 through installer

4)after installation while system was coming up I got the above error.

At single user mode I was able to start the vxconfigd -k  (daemon) and start all the volumes ...

Just have a check for install-db file under /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d  ?

If the file is there, remove it & restart your box...

Also, what does pkgchk shows on VRTSvxvm ?

# pkgchk VRTSvxvm

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.
