Hello, I moved SCSI controllers around im my server and have lost contact with my VG. The VG is on an extrenal array with 6 disks, 4 or which are used for the VG. Also I've changed back to the original controller cofiguration. How can I verify if the VG is truly hosed? Tried vgcfgrestore to no avail..... Any help is appreciated! --Andy vgscan is failing with: vader root # vgscan -v vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- creating empty "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- scanning for all active volume group(s) first vgscan -- reading data of volume group "spacevg" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- ERROR "lv_read_all_lv(): number of LV" can't get data of volume group "spacevg" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group Here is pvscan: vader root # pvscan -v pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- walking through all physical volumes found pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "spacevg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target2/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "spacevg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target3/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "spacevg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target4/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "spacevg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 4 [50.79 GB] / in use: 4 [50.79 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
