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

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?

Just have a check for

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

try vxinstall

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
