Software disc cannot be ejected during installation

During installation, if any of the products were configured and started, the software disc cannot be ejected. This may prevent installation from continuing in following circumstances:

This problem is not an issue if a product was installed or upgraded that required a system reboot to complete the installation.

 To avoid this problem at install time

  1. Specify the -installonly option to the installer script in addition to any other options.
  2. Eject the software disc.
  3. Run the installer script with the -configure option specified.

 If a software disc cannot be ejected

  1. Stop the event source daemon:

    # /usr/sbin/vxddladm stop eventsource

  2. Kill the vxcached, vxrelocd and vxnotify processes by using the kill -9 command with their process IDs as reported by the ps command.
  3. Eject the software disc.
  4. Restart the VxVM daemon processes:

    # /usr/sbin/vxddladm start eventsource

    # /etc/vx/bin/vxcached

    # /etc/vx/bin/vxrelocd
