Problem


The following error " VxVM vxedit ERROR V-5-1-10128 Transaction aborted waiting for io drain" may been seen when attempting to remove a Veritas File System (VxFS) checkpoint.

Error Message


VxVM vxedit ERROR V-5-1-10128 Transaction aborted waiting for io drain



Solution


When removing a VxFS File System Checkpoint attached to a Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) volume with vxedit, it fails with error V-5-1-10128
 
Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is  data-replication software designed to contribute to an effective disaster recovery plan. VVR enables you to maintain a consistent copy of application data at one or more remote locations. It provides a consistent copy of application data at the remote locations.
 
# vxedit -g <diskgroup-name> -rf rm <volume_name>
VxVM vxedit ERROR V-5-1-10128 Transaction aborted waiting for iodrain

 
Steps:

The error can be caused by an intermittent network issue between the Primary site and the Secondary replication site.
 
Resolve any network issues, then perform the following commands to detach the volume, remove (delete) the stale volume, and reattach the checkpoint:
 
# vxrvg -g <diskgroup-name> -c <checkpoint> checkstart <replicated_volume_group>

# vxrvg -g <diskgroup-name> checkend<replicated_volume_group>

# vxrlink -g  <diskgroup-name> -f det <rlink>


Now remove (delete) the volume to be removed:

# vxassist -g <diskgroup-name> remove volume <volume_name>


Start VVR replication using checkpoint:
 
# vxrlink -g <diskgroup-name> -c <checkpoint> att <rlink-name>
