vxconfigd error: segmentation fault

Cause

When the system boots, the vxconfigd fails to start. It fails with a segmentation fault (core dump).

vxconfigd error: segmentation fault
	[ vxvm warning: _illegal vminor encountered ]

Action

Check the date on the system using date(1) (/bin/date or /usr/bin/date). If the date on the system is old (like 1970) or far out in the future (like 2010), vxconfigd core dumps.

Change the date on the system using /bin/date or /usr/bin/date and vxconfigd starts without problems.
