This message indicates that some error condition has made it impossible for VxVM to continue to manage changes to a disk group. The major reason for this is that too many disks have failed, making it impossible for vxconfigd to continue to update configuration copies. There should be a preceding error message that indicates the specific error that was encountered.

If the disk group that was disabled is the boot disk group, the following additional error is displayed:

VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-104 All transactions are disabled

This additional message indicates that vxconfigd has entered the disabled state, which makes it impossible to change the configuration of any disk group, not just the boot disk group.

If the underlying error resulted from a transient failure, such as a disk cabling error, then you may be able to repair the situation by rebooting. Otherwise, the disk group configuration may have to be recreated, and the contents of any volumes restored from a backup.

Failure of the boot disk group may require reinstallation of the system if your system uses a root or /usr file system that is defined on a volume.
