Re-enabling connectivity if the disks are in local failed (lfailed) state (2425977)

Last published : Sep 23, 2026
In a Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) cluster, you can disable connectivity to the disks at the controller or enclosure level with the vxdmpadm disable command. In this case, CVM may place the disks into the lfailed state. When you restore connectivity with the vxdmpadm enable command, CVM may not automatically clear the lfailed state. After enabling the controller or enclosure, you must run disk discovery to clear the locally failed state.
To run disk discovery
  • Run the following command:
\# vxdisk scandisks
