A vxencrypt file not found error occurs during InfoScale upgrade on SLES (4116922)

This issue is observed when an InfoScale VVR setup is upgraded to InfoScale version 8.0.2 on the SLES platform. After the VVR primary upgrade and secondary upgrade is complete, the vxdg upgrade command displays the following error during the disk group version upgrade:

VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-447 Cannot execute /usr/sbin/vxencrypt:
No such file or directory
<!--NeedCopy-->

The issue occurs because the SLES operating system does not automatically map the /sbin and /usr/sbin directories. As a result, the upgrade process is unable to locate the vxencrypt utility that resides in the /sbin/vxencrypt directory.

Workaround: Manually create a symbolic link (symlink) between the /sbin and /usr/sbin directories and then complete the disk group upgrade.

Perform the following steps to create the symlink:

  1. Navigate to the /usr/sbin directory.

    # cd /usr/sbin

  2. Create a symlink to vxencrypt:

    # ln -s ../../sbin/vxencrypt vxencrypt
