Hello all,
I have now resolved this bizarre issue. To fix it I did the following:-
Booted the sun box into single user mode from the solaris cd
Mounted up /etc
Touch /etc/vx/.uuid_sem_lock
Chmod a+rx /etc/vx.uuid_sem_lock
Rebooted the box
The machine came up ok and I was able to remove the patch!
Cheers
Nick

Subject: veritas volume manager 3.5 help
Hello people,
I have installed the 112392-07 veritas patch on one of our servers and
the machine has blown up big time. On boot up I am getting the following
message:-
Error in GUID generation
Vxvm vxconfigd: enable failed:memory allocation failure
Vxvm vxconfigd:transactions are disabled
Vxvm vxconfigd:rootdg cannot be imported during boot
Errors were encountered in starting the root disk group, as a result
Vxvm is unable to configure the root and/or /usr volumes. If you have
mirrored the root disk, you can try booting from that disk.
If you cannot boot from the root disk, you can try to repair the problem
using a network mounted root file system or some alternative root file
system
Would you like a shell prompt right now.
I have tried to boot from the root mirror and I get the same above
message.
Has anyone come across this issue and if so how did you fix it?
Cheers
Nick
