ERROR: proxy: offset is different from master volume master

 

[Explanation]

Master volume master and proxy volume proxy have different top block (sector) numbers. The top block number is not a physical block number that indicates the offset on a physical disk, but is a logical block number that indicates the offset within a group (or a single disk) to which the volume belongs. The layout (offsets and sizes) of volumes within a master group and a proxy group must be consistent.

[Resolution]

For the proxy group, choose a group in which the layout of volumes are consistent with those of the master group. For the top block (sector) numbers and the sizes of volumes, use the sdxinfo command and check the 1STBLK field and the BLOCKS field of the displayed volume information.

 


 

ERROR: proxy: number of volumes is different from master group master

[Explanation]

The class class is not a shadow class.

[Resolution]

See "Command Reference," and specify a proper command name and class name.


 

ERROR: device: no configuration information

 

[Explanation]

Since no configuration information resides in the private slice on the physical disk device or no private slice exists on device, device cannot be registered with a shadow class. The possible causes are as follows.

  1. device is not registered with a class in another domain yet, and the private slice has not been copied from the SDX disk to device with the disk unit's copy function. In addition, the disk is not a disk previously removed from a class with the sdxconfig Remove -e keepid command.

  2. device is already registered with a class in another domain, but has not been enabled.

  3. The private slice has been copied from the SDX disk to device with the disk unit's copy function, but the copy source SDX disk has not been enabled.

[Resolution]

Check on the system configuration and so on, and identify which cause among a), b) and c) applies. If the cause is a), see "Command Reference" and specify a correct command name and physical disk name. If it is b), restore device in another domain. If it is c), restore the copy source SDX disk.


 

ERROR: device: registered with illegal class in another domain

 

[Explanation]

While the physical disk device is already registered with a different class in another domain, registering it with the same shadow class was attempted.

[Resolution]

You should register a disk registered with the same class in another domain with one shadow class.

 


 

ERROR: device: disk: not same as disk name diskname in another domain

 

[Explanation]

The physical disk device is already registered as diskname with a class in another domain. It cannot be registered with a shadow class as disk that is another disk name.

[Resolution]

Specify the same disk name diskname as in another domain.

 


 

ERROR: device: private slice size not same as another disk in class

 

[Explanation]

Since the physical disk device has the private slice that is unequal in size compared to the private slices on other disks registered with the shadow class class, it cannot be registered with class.

[Resolution]

Check on the system configuration and so on, and specify a correct disk name and shadow class name.

 


 

ERROR: no license

 

[Explanation]

The command cannot be executed. The possible causes are as follows.
