To remove the error state for persistent simple or nopriv disks in the boot disk
group
1
Use vxdiskadm to change back to c#t#d# naming.
2
Enter the following command to restart the VxVM configuration daemon:
# vxconfigd -kr reset
3
If you want to use enclosure-based naming, use vxdiskadm to add a
non-persistent simple disk to the bootdg disk group, change back to the
enclosure-based naming scheme, and then run the following command:
# vxdarestore
Removing the error state for persistent simple or nopriv disks
in non-boot disk groups
If an imported disk group, other than bootdg, consists only of persistent simple
and/or nopriv disks, it is put in the “online dgdisabled” state after the change
to the enclosure-based naming scheme.
To remove the error state for persistent simple or nopriv disks in non-boot disk
groups

Deport the disk group using the following command:
# vxdg deport diskgroup

Use the vxdarestore command to restore the failed disks, and to recover the
objects on those disks:
# vxdarestore
3
Re-import the disk group using the following command:
# vxdg import diskgroup
About the Array Volume Identifier (AVID) attribute
DMP assigns enclosure-based names to DMP meta-devices using an array-specific
attribute called the Array Volume ID (AVID). The AVID is a unique identifier for
the LUN that is provided by the array. The ASL corresponding to the array provides
the AVID property. Within an array enclosure, DMP uses the Array Volume
Administering disks
