Issues with host prefix values in case of NVME disks (4017022)

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
As NVME devices are local disks, their names are prepended with host prefix value by default.
NVME devices appear in the error state in the output of the vxdisk list command if the following conditions are satisfied. A host prefix is set to an empty value, and then the vxddladm -c assign names command is run to clear the previous names and autogenerate the names again.
Note: This issue does not occur if a host prefix is unset by using the vxdctl unset hostprefix command.
Workaround: Either unset host prefix or set it to a non-empty value, so that the hostname string can be set as the host prefix.
If the hostname or the host prefix starts with "nvme", all the disks that are claimed by the JBOD and ASLs of the local connection type may also appear in the error state.
Workaround: No workaround
