Volume group "/dev/vg00" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.

I have tried removing the lvmtab and vgscan -v. The system boots up fine with its primary boot path. lvlnboot -v gives me a blank line and it still says the physical volumes can't be queried after a reboot. Outside of going into maintenance mode and doing a vgimport of the physical volume back into vg00, does any know of a way for vg00 to claim its physical volume.

If you have been saving the map files you should be able to do a vgimport and get everything back.

You don't need to be in maintenance mode to accomplish this.

You can't vgimport when vg00 is active and when try to vgimport the physical device,it says:

Beginning the import process on Volume Group "/dev/vg00".
Volume group "/dev/vg00" is still active.

vgchange -a n vg00
vgchange: Volume group "/dev/vg00" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.

The only way I have seen this done after trying vgscan like you have said is to boot in maintenance mode, then vgexport/vgimport.

a small note:

lvlnboot -v shouldn't print a blank line ;)
I also think going to hpux -lm is the thing to do, but please check that at least /stand/rootconf is okay before doing that.
