Known issues
The vxassist maxsize option fails to report the maximum size
of the volume that can be created with given constraints when
the disk group has the siteconsistent flag set (2563195)
The vxassist maxsize option fails to report the maximum size of volume that
can be created with given constraints when the disk group has the siteconsistent
flag set. The following error is reported:
# vxassist -g dgname maxsize
VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-752 No volume can be created within the given
constraints
Workaround:
Specify the size explicitly to the vxassist make command.
Known Issue related to EFI disk initialization (2585433)
For disks initialized with EFI format using idisk, DA record becomes invisible
from "vxdisk list" output after executing "vxdisk scandisks".
Work-around:
For devices to be correctly seen with slices in "vxdisk list" output, VxVM needs to
flush the cached open and reopen the disk device. Further, VxVM needs to search
for this new EFI format on the disk and generate new DA record.
To recover from this issue
◆
To achieve this functionality run following VxVM commands:
# vxdisk rm
# vxdctl cacheflush
# vxdisk scandisks
After disconnecting and reconnecting the Fibre Channel, DMP
is unable to present the device tree (2509636)
On some HP-UX 11i version 3 systems, after disconnecting and reconnecting the
Fibre Channel, DMP is unable to present the device tree.
Workaround:
Restart the vxconfigd daemon with the following command:
# vxconfigd -k
