If you can reboot the system, do so. If you do not want to reboot, then use the following procedure.

    To correct the error without rebooting

  1. Ensure that no vxvol, vxplex, or vxsd processes are running.

    Use ps -e to search for such processes, and use kill to kill any that you find. You may have to run kill twice to make these processes go away. Killing utilities in this way may make it difficult to make administrative changes to some volumes until the system is rebooted.

  2. Recreate the temporary database files for all imported disk groups using the following command:

    # vxconfigd -x cleartempdir 2> /dev/console

    The vxvol, vxplex, and vxsd commands make use of these tempdb files to communicate locking information. If the file is cleared, then locking information can be lost. Without this locking information, two utilities can end up making incompatible changes to the configuration of a volume.

This error can happen if you kill and restart vxconfigd, or if you disable and enable vxconfigd with vxdctl disable and vxdctl enable. The error indicates a failure related to reading the file /etc/vx/tempdb/group. This is a temporary file used to store information that is used when recovering the state of an earlier vxconfigd. The file is recreated on a reboot, so this error should never survive a reboot.

If you can reboot the system, do so. If you do not want to reboot, then use the following procedure.
