Hi Rajan, your statement is
Hi Rajan,
your statement is little confusing .. can u elaborate a bit more ...
1. what was the disk state before in "vxdisk list" ?
2. when you did the label & ran a "vxdctl enable", what was state in "vxdisk list" ?
3. Did you initialize the disk using "vxdisksetup -i <diskname> ?
4. Did you add disk to the Diskgroup using "vxdg -g <diskgroup> adddisk <dmname=daname>" ?
Once all this is done then you will see disk added to the diskgroup ...
Also what is the OS & VxVM version ?

Hi
Issue has been resolved after rebooting the server.
In the same ref. I suspect that there were inconsisteny of VxVM disk configurations with actual one, the same has been resolved by rebooting as reboot will restart the all daemons of VxVM.
Thanks

You need to use "vxdisk list"
You need to use "vxdisk list" not "vxdg list" to see disk.
To create diskgroup use "vxdg init <diskgroup> [<dmname>=]<daname>", and then to add subsequent disks use "vxdg -g <diskgroup> adddisk [<dmname>=]>daname>"

I am sure, if you had looked
I am sure, if you had looked at "vxdisk list <disk>" on all newly added disks, you would have found the disk having other disks paths in multipath info in some disk. This is most common issue while adding new luns on server and disks are not visible to vxvm.
You can try to disable and enable all new disks paths using vxdmpadm and do vxdctl enable.
If above does not work, reboot is only solution.
