I resolved this issue!
I "cloned" the boot disk from another M5000 which I had also install Veritas Storage Foundation (aka Veritas Volume Manager). I found entries in /etc/vfstab for the old VxVM volumes I had created. These entries were causing errors during the boot process. I removed those "/dev/vx/..." entries and rebooted. Then I got prompted for system information.
Case closed.

I know I could have edited some files but I prefer not to.
thanks in advance,

Hi guys,
thanks for your help. I recently did a yum update on my rhel6.4 server. After this update, user logins take for ever and the reboot command does not work. When I do a reboot, the server hangs. Nothing happens.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

vxinstall
vxinstall(1M) vxinstall(1M)
NAME
vxinstall - menu-driven Veritas Volume Manager initial configuration procedure
SYNOPSIS
vxinstall
DESCRIPTION
The vxinstall utility provides a menu driven interface to configure Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). If you install the Veritas Volume Man-
ager software package using the operating system's package administration commands, you can run vxinstall to configure VxVM for initial use
on your system.
Note: If you use the Veritas software installation scripts, do not run this utility.
OPERATIONS
Licensing
vxinstall first asks if you want to view the Veritas licenses already installed on the system. Answering "yes" is equivalent to exe-
cuting the vxlicrep command (see vxlicrep(1)).
You are then asked if you want to add licenses for other Veritas products. Answering "yes" is equivalent to running the vxlicinst
command (see vxlicinst(1)). and entering a license key.
Enclosure-Based Naming
You can choose whether you want to use disk access names that are based on the device names assigned by the operating system, or that
are based on names that you assign to enclosures.
System-Wide Default Disk Group
You can enter the name for the default disk group (defaultdg). This is an alias for the disk group name that should be assumed if the
-g option is not specified to a command, or if the VXVM_DEFAULTDG environment variable is undefined. By default, defaultdg is set to
nodg (that is, no disk group).
NOTES
From release 4.0 of VxVM, it is no longer necessary to run vxinstall to configure the rootdg disk group. Disks and disk groups may be
added to VxVM by running commands such as vxdiskadm(1M) or by using the graphical user interface without first running vxinstall. The
operation of VxVM does not require any disk groups to have been configured, and a disk group named rootdg does not need to be present on
the system. Any disk group may be configured as the default disk group that is to be used with VxVM commands. Any disk group named rootdg
has no special significance to VxVM. See the vxdg(1M) manual page for further details.
