I am still having problems with my volume groups. Before I was having the problem I would try and activate one group, but it would think it is another. I gave some incorrect information last time when I thought I figured out how to get the group active. My problem is that after loading lvm-mod I have volume groups with the same number. Below is an example. Note that VG # shows the groups have the same number. They are on physically different devices. All are interconnected with Fiber channel. I do have other nodes that use other lvm groups off of the same hardware, but no two nodes use the same group. Running vgscan -f does not help the situation. Maybe I volume groups from different nodes. I am willing to delete sdd2_vol5 as it isn't used yet, but I want to make sure that it doesn't delete sdd_vol4.
