I'm getting closer, but still having an issue. When I run this command: sudo /usr/sbin/pvchange --config 'devices { filter = [ "a|/dev/sdf|", "a|/dev/sdg|", "a|/dev/sdh|", "a|/dev/sdi|", "r|.*|" ] }' -u /dev/sdf1 I get this error: Volume group containing /dev/sdf1 has active logical volumes 0 physical volumes changed / 1 physical volume not changed Sdf1-sdi1 are on SAN snapshots. Is there something I have to do to force the new uuid or to make pvchange see that these are not actually active?
