BugId 4638586

Problem Summary: The scconf(1M) command may not reminor the VxVM disk groups in some cases and will give out the error saying that the device is already in use in another device group.

Workaround: Perform the following steps to assign a new minor number to the disk group.

1. Find the minor numbers already in use.

   Observe the minor numbers in use along with the major number listed in the following output.

   % ls -l /dev/vx/rdsk/*/*   crw------- 1 root root 210,107000 Mar 11 18:18 /dev/vx/rdsk/fix/vol-01 crw------- 1 root root 210,88000 Mar 15 16:31 /dev/vx/rdsk/iidg/vol-01 crw------- 1 root root 210,88001 Mar 15 16:32 /dev/vx/rdsk/iidg/vol-02 crw------- 1 root root 210,88002 Mar 15 16:33 /dev/vx/rdsk/iidg/vol-03 crw------- 1 root root 210,88003 Mar 15 16:49 /dev/vx/rdsk/iidg/vol-04 crw------- 1 root root 210,13000 Mar 18 16:09 /dev/vx/rdsk/sndrdg/vol-01 crw------- 1 root root 210,13001 Mar 18 16:08 /dev/vx/rdsk/sndrdg/vol-02

2. Choose any other multiple of 1000 that is not in use as the base minor number for the new disk group.

3. Assign the unused minor number to the disk group in error.

   Use the vxdg command's reminor option.

4. Retry the failed scconf command.
