Instead, it backs up the Veritas private region configuration database that resides on the disks associated with the diskgroup, along with some information about the disks themselves. Vxconfigbackup does not back up any actual data that is contained within the volumes. The status of ' failed' should not be confused with a status of ' failing' This article primarily discusses the 'failed' status, as reported by vxdisk.ДЇor information on troubleshooting the ' failing' status, see Д«efore making any changes to the disks or the disk group configuration, create a backup of the disk group configuration using the vxconfigbackup command. This can be contrasted with the public region, which contains the actual volumes, including user data. The private region is the portion of the disk where Veritas stores records about the disk group, such as disks, volumes, subdisks and plexes. It may also be the result of corruption within the Veritas private region. This is often caused by sustained I/O errors to the disk that prevents it from being read by the operating system (OS). VxVM managed disks may report a ' failed' or ' failed was' state, as displayed by the vxdisk command.ДЄ ' failed' status is a record of a disk that is no longer accessible.
