vxdisksetup fails on a LUN that is larger than 1 TB and has the
cdsdisk format if the system is using Tachyon HBAs (2146340)
The vxdisksetup command fails to initialize a LUN that is larger than 1 TB and
has the cdsdisk format if the system is using Tachyon HBAs. The vxdisksetup
command displays the following error:
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device disk_name: init failed:
Work-around:
Disk is not useable, bad format
There is no workaround for this issue.
Shared disk group creation on slave fails if the naming scheme
on slave is operating system native scheme with the mode as
the new name (2148981)
While creating shared disk groups on slaves using the command's shipping feature,
the disk group creation may fail if the naming scheme on the slave where the
command was issued is the operating system's native scheme with the mode as
the new name.
Workaround:
You can create the shared disk group from the slave by changing the naming
scheme to the operating system's native scheme while in the "Legacy" mode.
vxdisk -f init can overwrite some of the public region contents
(1190117)
If a disk was initialized by a previous VxVM version or defined with a smaller
private region than the new default of 32 MB, then the public region data will be
overridden.
Workaround:
Specify explicitly the length of privoffset, puboffset, publen, and privlen while
initializing the disk.
vxsnap addmir command sometimes fails under heavy I/O load
(2441283)
The vxsnap addmir command sometimes fails under heavy I/O load and produces
multiple errors.
Workaround: Rerun the vxsnap addmir command.
