vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Configuration daemon error -1

[UmeshCM]

Accidentally rootdg of Veritas 3.5 is corrupted , When I try to re-create the rootdg using vxinstall command , it's showing below error
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Configuration daemon error -1
No such file or directory; aborting

Failure during execution of command : vxconfigd -k -m disable
---------------------------

Tried to restart vxconfigd , getting same error as above

Try to following steps in this doc:

http://slashzeroconf.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/how-to-disable-re-enable-vxvm-at-boot-time-when-the-boot-disk-is-encapsulated/

(The original Symantec TN http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/192620.htm  was removed as 3.5 is no longer supported)

Hi Umesh,

Is rootdisk encapsulated under rootdg?

Do you have any volumes under rootdg that needs to be recovered?

If you are using a spare disk for rootdg and nothing to recover, the procedure is simple

Try the below.

# vxconfigd -m disable

# vxiod set 10

# vxdctl init

# vxdg init rootdg

# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -fi c#t#d#

# vxdg adddisk disk01=c#t#d#

# vxdctl enable

# vxdctl mode –> check for enabled

# vxdisk list –> check for DG’s imported

# rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
