by Hi,
We run Solaris 2.6 in our E3500 server. We want to upgrade our
Sun
Enterprise Volume Manager 2.5 to Veritas Volume Manager 2.5.6 only. Yes,
I know it's pretty old version but we need it for testing purposes.
We have two disk groups, rootdg (i.e.,root disk/mirror disk) and oradg
(i.e., application disk).
The root was encapsulated under Sun Enterprise VM 2.5.
So far, our system is up and I was able to :
- Un-encapsulate the root disk
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2252713 906395 1301264 42% /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 2010712 787274 1163117 41% /usr
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 1502843 370438 1072292 26% /var
swap 3758288 24 3758264 1% /tmp
- Remove all Sun Enterprise Volume Manager 2.5 packages
- Install all Veritas Volume Manager 2.5.6 packages
However, I do not see any VM processes appearing after reboot.
Here are the error message after the "vxdctl enable" command :
# vxdctl enable
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Error in disk group configuration
copies
No valid disk found containing disk group; transactions are disabled.
vxvm:vxdctl: ERROR: enable failed: Error in disk group configuration
copies
#
I tried to issue "vxrelocd root & " by hand.
The vxrelocd and vxnotify appear for a minute and then disappear. I don't
see our root device in the list under "vxdiskadm". We tried
rebooting the
server again but none of the Veritas VM daemons started up.
QUESTIONS :
What could we do to bring the root & other disks back to under Veritas
VM
2.5.6 control ??
Is there a compatability issue with the private region for disks under
Sun
VM vs Veritas VM ?? How do one
workaround it, if any ??
How do one starts up the Veritas Volume Manager 2.5.6 daemons ??
Thanks much,
Bill
