The
/dev/vx/config device could not be opened.
vxconfigd uses this device to communicate with the Veritas Volume Manager kernel drivers. The most likely reason is "Device is already open." This indicates that some process (most likely
vxconfigd) already has
/dev/vx/config open. Less likely reasons are "No such file or directory" or "No such device or address."
The following are likely causes:
- The Veritas Volume Manager package installation did not complete correctly.
- The device node was removed by the administrator or by an errant shell script.
If the reason is "Device is already open," stop or kill the old
vxconfigd by running the command:
# vxdctl -k stop
For other failure reasons, consider re-adding the base Veritas Volume Manager package. This will reconfigure the device node and re-install the Veritas Volume Manager kernel device drivers. If you cannot re-install the package, contact Veritas Technical Support for more information.Cannot open /etc/filesystems
