Content:
The volume for the root or /usr file system is in an unexpected state (not ACTIVE, CLEAN, SYNC or NEEDSYNC). This should not happen unless the system administrator circumvents the mechanisms used by VxVM to create these volumes.

The only recourse is to bring up VxVM on a CD-ROM or NFS-mounted root file system and to fix the state of the volume.
