Yesterday I encountered one issue where I couldn't able to add the disk into Veritas Diskgroup. Later I fixed the issue and executed the change successfully. I just want to share same to you all through this post. This may help you lot when you encountered the similar issue.Actual request is to extend the mirrored Volume. When we add the disk into the DG, getting below error. which indicates that might be mismatch between Veritas kernel and disk configurations.
[root@unixrock ~]# vxdg -g UNIXDG adddisk unixrock_site_01=unixstore-asp2_09ab
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-10128 Configuration daemon error 441
[root@unixrock ~]#
as a workaround we can use "Vxdg flush DG", it will update or rewrites all the disks configuration as like disk headers, copies of kernel log, copies of configuration for the specified VxVM disk group. If we are not mentioned any specific diskgroup, then it will consider to update or rewrite all available diskgroups. "vxdg flush" also will enable the configuration copies, if any configuration copies were disabled status.
NOTE : If this filesystem is controlled by VCS, then recommended to freeze the SG which is part the DG.
