Dear luggers,
I'am facing problems in starting the pivotal vxconfigd daemon on my box with RHEL Os and a compiled kernel
The error is
[root@veritas root]# vxconfigd VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-7840 cannot open /dev/vx/config: No such device
whereas the device exists in /dev/vx/
Here are a few inputs ------>
[root@veritas root]# uname -a Linux veritas.linux.com 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL #1 Mon Jul 5 00:06:10 EDT 2004 i686 i68 6 i386 GNU/Linux [root@veritas root]# [root@veritas root]# [root@veritas root]# vxconfigd VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-7840 cannot open /dev/vx/config: No such device [root@veritas root]# [root@veritas root]# [root@veritas root]# cd /dev/vx/config -bash: cd: /dev/vx/config: Not a directory [root@veritas root]# cd /dev/vx/ [root@veritas vx]# pwd /dev/vx [root@veritas vx]# ls- l -bash: ls-: command not found [root@veritas vx]# ls -l total 3 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 6 Mar 25 11:20 clust crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 0 Mar 25 11:20 config drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 25 11:19 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 25 11:20 dmp brw-r--r-- 1 root root 201, 255 Mar 25 11:20 dmpconfig crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 3 Mar 25 11:20 info crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 2 Mar 25 11:20 iod crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 7 Mar 25 11:20 netiod drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 25 11:20 rdmp crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 4 Mar 25 11:20 task crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 5 Mar 25 11:20 taskmon crw-r--r-- 1 root root 200, 1 Mar 25 11:20 trace [root@veritas vx]#

And for the veritas experts who would demand the list of modules loaded
[root@veritas vx]# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P vxdmp 188640 0 (unused) pcnet32 17760 1 mii 3956 0 [pcnet32] crc32 3712 0 [pcnet32] ide-scsi 12304 0 ide-cd 33920 0 cdrom 32096 0 [ide-cd] keybdev 2976 0 (unused) mousedev 5492 0 (unused) hid 22084 0 (unused) input 5856 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] usb-uhci 25836 0 (unused) usbcore 77152 1 [hid usb-uhci] ext3 85704 6 jbd 50572 6 [ext3] BusLogic 99068 7 sd_mod 13360 14 scsi_mod 104232 3 [vxdmp ide-scsi BusLogic sd_mod]

Could anyone try atleast guessing if not finding the exact solution. Googling gives me a few solutions for the same error in solaris, says a few linked libs might be not in the proper path...but with linux it does not seem to be the case.
