IPC Failure: Configuration daemon is not accessible

Exact Error Message
vxvm:xxxx: ERROR: IPC Failure: Configuration daemon is not accessible

Details:
The above mentioned error message means either vxconfigd is not running or needs to be reset. First check to see if vxconfigd is running:
# ps -ef | grep vxconfigd

If it is not running (or it's running, but probably stuck), then enter the following to start it
# vxconfigd -k -x syslog

While trying to start the vxconfigd daemon, it is possible to get error messages like these: cannot open /dev/vx/config or volboot file not loaded. In this case, bring up VxVM manually as follows:

# vxiod set 10
# vxconfigd -m disable -x syslog
# vxdctl init
# vxdctl initdmp (Use this if Dynamic Multi-pathing (DMP) certified arrays are being used.)
# vxdctl enable

Thank you for the tip however I have been trying to start vxconfigd and when I run it, it simply hangs, it doesn't return to prompt nor gives any message. It simply stays there, stuck.

It seems I am the only facing this problem cause I cannot find a fix anywhere.
