Hi, Sorry for my ignorance. The culprit was "Vgremove -f NEWVG" in my step. :) Thnx&Rgds, KauShik SarKar SMAI - WinQA (SMVI) NetApp +91-80-4184-3392 Direct kaushik.sarkar@netapp.com -----Original Message----- From: Sarkar, Kaushik Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 4:10 PM To: 'linux-lvm@redhat.com' Subject: Can not use vgimportclone multiple times for the attached disk Hi, I successfully mounted the associated logical volume from the backup of the same machine. Before SCSI scan I have only /dev/sda2 After SCSI bus scan (rescan-scsi-bus.sh) I can see the new disk attached to my RHEL machine. # vgimportclone -n NEWVG /dev/sdc2 It successfully rename the VG. #vgchange -ay NEWVG I am able to mount the logical volumes associated with this VG to verify the backup. After verifying I un-mounted logical volume and remove the volume group. Vgremove -f NEWVG But the new disk /dev/sdc2 still attached I tried to do vgimportclone again it fails # vgimportclone -n NEWVG /dev/sdc2 Fatal: /dev/sdc2 is not a PV., error: 5 I tried to remove the physical volume labeling then tried from the fresh but still no luck. #Pvremove -f /dev/sdc2 # rescan-scsi-bus.sh # vgimportclone -n NEWVG /dev/sdc2 Fatal: /dev/sdc2 is not a PV., error: 5 What went wrong? What is the correct step to achieve it.
