Operation:
When try to initialize a disk which is under control of Veritas DMP you can get error while reading parttions, please apply solution steps.This problem can be occur while install new disk also after a patching operation.
Operation:
#vxdisksetup -i hitachi_hus_vm0_0000 format=cdsdisk
Error:
VxVM vxparms ERROR V-5-1-6536 error reading partitions
VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-43 hitachi_hus_vm0_0000: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup
Solution:
-Init options initializes region of a disks used by Vxvm.Also this options installing a disk header and writing a default empty configuration on the disk. So be careful before run this command .If you run for a used disk it’ll remove header information. There are some cases which I observed that user removed ASM or ZFS disk header while try to initialize disk.
#vxdisk init hitachi_hus_vm0_0000 format=cdsdisk #vxdisksetup -i hitachi_hus_vm0_0000 format=cdsdisk
