Hi there, we are in the process of moving a volume group to a new server. We have done the unmount/vgchange/vgexport sequence following the LVM_HOWTO but something must have gone wrong because now when trying to import the volume group we get: vgimport -v fibre_vg /dev/sdc /dev/sdd vgimport -- locking logical volume manager vgimport -- checking volume group name vgimport -- checking volume group "fibre_vg" existence vgimport -- trying to read physical volumes vgimport -- checking for duplicate physical volumes vgimport -- checking physical volume name "/dev/sdc" vgimport -- reading data of physical volume "/dev/sdc" from disk vgimport -- checking for exported physical volume "/dev/sdc" vgimport -- checking consistency of physical volume "/dev/sdc" vgimport -- ERROR "pv_check_consistency(): PE size" checking physical volume consistency of "/dev/sdc" vgimport -- checking for duplicate physical volumes vgimport -- checking physical volume name "/dev/sdd" vgimport -- reading data of physical volume "/dev/sdd" from disk vgimport -- checking for exported physical volume "/dev/sdd" vgimport -- checking consistency of physical volume "/dev/sdd" vgimport -- reallocating memory vgimport -- reading exported volume group data of "fibre_vg" from disk (s) vgimport -- only found 0 of 800 LEs for LV /dev/fibre_vg/clusterware_lv (0) vgimport -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" reading data of volume group "fibre_vg" The output of pvscan is: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdc" is in EXPORTED VG "fibre_vg" [0 / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdd" is in EXPORTED VG "fibre_vg" [1.18 TB / 1.18 TB free] pvscan -- total: 2 [1.18 TB] / in use: 2 [1.18 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Could anyone please give us a hand with it ? Thanks a lot in advance, Ruben _______________________________________________ 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/
