Veritas vxconfigd Debug Feature
Veritas vxconfigd has a debug feature vxconfigd -x 2 -k -x log -x logfile=/tmp/vxconfigd.out Example Usage - Exclude a device
In the following debugging example vxconfigd in debug mode shows that that vxconfigd fails after it finds a symmetrix VCM device. The debugger then tried to exclude it from Vxvm’s view by creating a /etc/vx/disks.exclude file but still it dumps on reaching this disk. Below are some outputs :
1. “vxinstall” failed
#vxdctl mode mode: not-running
2. #modinfo |grep vx 199 7bba8000 26920 269 1 vxdmp (VxVM 4.1z: DMP Driver) 209 7ae00000 2115c8 270 1 vxio (VxVM 4.1z I/O driver) 210 7bfdce30 13f0 271 1 vxspec (VxVM 4.1z control/status driver)
3. “vxconfigd -x 2 -k -x log -x logfile=/tmp/vxconfigd.out”
In this output file I could see VX gets stuck at disk “c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d2″ which is a symmetrix VCM.It fails with “VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-0 Bus error - core dumped”
I tried to avoid VX from seeing this disk by creating a “disks.exclude”.
Except 15 disks I have included rest of the disks in “disks.exclude”
#cat /etc/vx/disks.exclude c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d2 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d317 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d318 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d319 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d320 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d321 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d322 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d323 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d324 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d325 :::: :::: c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1302 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1303 c3t5006048ACCD1E3C0d1304
