vxconfigd :- Maintains disk and group configuration. Commaunicattes configuration changes to kernel and modify config info on disk. vxiod ::- used for extended I/o operation , Generally stated @ boot time.

vxconfigd daemons is very important maintains and synchronies configuration database across multiple requests. If vxconfigd demon is not running , the vxvm is running but configurations changes are not save to database. Vxconfigd daemon is reads kernel logs to determind current state of vxvm components to update configuration database. Even if vxconfigd daemon is not running the kernel logs are generated.. To check , enable , disable vxconfigd daemond status ::[root@mayclus02 /]# vxdctl mode mode: enabled [root@mayclus02 /]# vxdctl disable If vxdctl is disable no configurations changes are occoured. To stop vxconfigd daemon ::- vxdctl stop
