Hi,

move the /etc/lvmtab and run again.

#mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.org

regards,

Siva.

All seems fine except disk-"/dev/dsk/c0t0d0"
Is there a disk like that and present?

Also, you should not be running vgscan -a directly. run vgscan -pva first, then if required run vgscan -a. Also backup old file first.

Hi,

Is there some mismatch for device files under /dev/dsk and /dev/dsk ?

HTH,

Hello and thanks

when I use vgscan -a (before mv lvmtab lvmtab.old)
after there is only vg00 and vg01 / vg02 is missig

Re: Error in vgscan

RAC_1 — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 06:54:51 GMT

Did you loose old lvmtab? Is vg01 and vg02 active when you are running vgscan?

A good sysadmin always backs up a file before doing anything to it.

Hallo

vg01 and vg02 are running.
backup not possible because of defect hardware

Re: Error in vgscan

RAC_1 — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 07:21:12 GMT

If you do vgscan -pva, does it show details for vg01 and vg02? What does dmesg and syslog.log say?

What hardware errors/defects you noticed?
