To solve this issue, do the following:

 

1. Check that the device is physically connected properly. If the wire connection is detached, the system may show errors like:

 

No such device

 

2. Check that you have the permission or privilege to use the mkfs command.

 

3. Check that the device and device driver are on-line. If the device or device driver is offline, turn it on-line.

  1. Check that the device is on-line. That is, the LUNs are in connection. Enter:

# vxdisk list

               If the device is offline, make the device on-line. Enter:

               # vxdisk -f init disk_name

               The command above turns on-line the device specified in the disk_name argument.

  1. Check that the device driver is on-line. Enter:

# fcmsutil /dev/td0

If the device driver is offline, make the driver on-line. Enter:

# isnf -e
