Hello everyone, I am stuck with a problem with hardware copies: I have an IBM Fastt Storage with the Flashcopy and Volumecopy features, which allows me to copy a complete drive. However, when making such a copy of a PV (only one in my VG for the time beeing) I'm unable to access the PV on the same host. The reason: "Found duplicate PV". Is there a way to access such an hardware-copy LVMed drive on the same host where the original drive is already in use? If yes, how? And if I tried to access it on another host, could it conflict if on the second host exists a VG with the same name? Any insights are greatly appreciated...
