Bug ID 4366886

Problem Summary: Heavy system load might interfere with bringing device groups online. This problem occurs because VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) needs to perform several tasks, such as syncing mirrors, to import a disk group. Under heavy load, these tasks can be prevented from completing in a timely manner because other system tasks are utilizing important system resources. Because device groups are commonly brought online automatically when a node boots (if a file system is set to automatically mount, for example), such an online hang might manifest itself as a hang during boot.

Workaround: Decrease system load or increase the priority of the vxconfigd daemon.
