Symptom: 

vxinstall failed with "vxvm:vxdctl: ERROR: enabled: Error in disk group
configuration copies" right after answering the "do you wish to enter
another license key?" 
Exact Error Message: 
vxvm:vxdctl: ERROR: enabled: Error in disk group configuration copies 
Solution: 
In situations when the original rootdg configuration is corrupted for some
reasons, rootdg needs to be re-created. One of the ways to re-create rootdg
is to run "vxinstall".
However when running "vxinstall", one gets the above error messages right
after answering the "do you wish to enter another license key?":
vxvm:vxdctl: ERROR: enabled: Error in disk group configuration copies

The solution is to run the following commands:

# vxconfigd -k -r reset -d
# touch /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
Then run "vxinstall" again:
#vxinstall
