I saw a problem today where after a VxVM upgrade (to 5.1) the Symmetrix disks had been renamed in vxdisk list and vxdmpadm showed that they weren't being accessed as PowerPath devices.
# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
disk_0 auto:none - - online invalid
disk_1 auto:ZFS - - ZFS
disk_2 auto:SVM - - SVM
emc0_0b1c auto:cdsdisk mydg_35 mydg online
emc0_0b2c auto:cdsdisk mydg_39 mydg online
emc0_0b10 auto:cdsdisk mydg_32 mydg online
emc0_0b14 auto:cdsdisk mydg_33 mydg online
emc0_0b18 auto:cdsdisk mydg_34 mydg online
emc0_0b20 auto:cdsdisk mydg_36 mydg online
emc0_0b24 auto:cdsdisk mydg_37 mydg online
# vxdmpadm listctlr
CTLR-NAME ENCLR-TYPE STATE ENCLR-NAME
=====================================================
c0 Disk ENABLED disk
c3 Disk ENABLED disk
c4 EMC ENABLED emc0
c1 EMC ENABLED emc0
c2 EMC ENABLED emc0
c5 EMC ENABLED emc0
To fix this I ensured that all of the VxVM SMF services were enabled, and then restarted the configuration daemon;
# vxconfigd -k
Now the output looks like;
# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
disk_0 auto:none - - online invalid
disk_1 auto:ZFS - - ZFS
disk_2 auto:SVM - - SVM
emcpower0 auto:cdsdisk mydg_35 mydg online
emcpower1 auto:cdsdisk mydg_39 mydg online
emcpower2 auto:cdsdisk mydg_32 mydg online
emcpower3 auto:cdsdisk mydg_33 mydg online
emcpower4 auto:cdsdisk mydg_34 mydg online
emcpower5 auto:cdsdisk mydg_36 mydg online
emcpower6 auto:cdsdisk mydg_37 mydg online
# vxdmpadm listctlr
CTLR-NAME ENCLR-TYPE STATE ENCLR-NAME
=====================================================
c0 Disk ENABLED disk
c3 Disk ENABLED disk
emcp PP_EMC ENABLED pp_emc0
I have a strong suspicion that all that was required was the "vxconfigd -k" and that the services were a red herring so if this occurs again this will be the first thing I try.
Update:
vxdctl enable fixes this also. No need to go checking services, just run everyone's favourite VxVM command.

dhcpmgr help - "Could not start browser to view help"
Whilst doing battle with dhcpmgr manager this morning I thought I'd have a browse through the help pages to see if they held anything of interest. Unfortunately I didn't get very far due to a dialogue box telling me "Could not start browser to view help".
A quick scan of the source code told me it was looking for /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla. (Hardcoded - nice).
This file was missing so I created it as a link to my firefox binary and the help pages started up.
