Vxconfigd may core dump after suppressing paths of a PowerPath device (3869111)

Last published : Sep 23, 2026
If you try to suppress the paths of a PowerPath device by using the vxdmpadm exclude path/dmpnodename command or using the vxdiskadm utility, the vxconfigd daemon may core dump.

Workaround:

To solve it, choose one of the following methods:
  • Restart the system.
  • Exclude the PowerPath devices using the controller option, e.g.
vxdmpadm exclude ctlr=emcp
  • Using thevxdiskadm utility by suppressing all paths through a controller from VxVM's view.
