CVMVxconfigd Agent

The CVMVxconfigd agent is responsible for starting and monitoring the vxconfigd daemon. The vxconfigd daemon maintains disk and disk group configurations, communicates configuration changes to the kernel, and modifies configuration information stored on disks. CVMVxconfigd is always required in the CVM service group.

The CVMVxconfigd is an OnOnly agent; that is, the agent starts it when the cluster starts up and it is always restarted by VCS whenever necessary. This is specified by default in the Operations attribute.

It is highly recommended that the vxconfigd daemon be started with the syslog option, which enables logging of debug messages. The syslog option is configured for the CVMVxconfigd agent during installation.
