lvmtab

Steve_3 — Fri, 06 Aug 2004 09:34:53 GMT

Trying to remove devices that don't exist from lvmtab.

/dev/vg23_BCV_0
/dev/dsk/c19t4d2
/dev/dsk/c19t4d3

The devices do not exist.
The vg do not exist.
It doesn't show up in ioscan.
Reran vgscan but it still shows up.

How do I get rid of it.

Thanks

# mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
# vgscan -a

Still shows up.

That suggests that there are still active references in the kernel somewhere.

It may be that the only way to resolve this is to reboot the server, then try the vgscan again.

Try vgexport /dev/vg23_BCV_0

Yes,
# vgexport vg23_BCV_0
removes the entry of vg23_BCV_0 from lvmtab.

That should help.
