8)  Also when i rebooted machine... it showed me some Warnings V-365-1-1 , kindly find it in attched Picture

Will someone please update me, why i am not able to start VXVM in my virtual machine ?

any body ? any idea...

suggest please ?

Not a solution but a couple of observations.

First, vxportal & fdd are VxFS components, not VxVM components.
I suppose it is possible you have a bad license key. That is quite rare, however.

Can you try 5.1? The license key behavior in 5.1 is quite a bit simpler, allowing for a keyless installation at least to get started; and if you only intend to run Storage Foundation Basic, you may not need an additional license key.

One other thought... when you say virtual machine, do you mean VMware virual machine, or  Sun's zone utility? If the latter, the configuration has some specific requirements which are discussed in the documentation. If the former, I have no further ideas right now.

hello guys,

i have am not getting any solution.  please help me out.

i am using vmware workstation 7 . and solaris 10. vxvm 5.1
 and license is built in it.

then why i am provoked for license when i am trying to mount a vx volume ?.   Veritas guys.. please help me out. ?
