Getting Sam error

Trojan36 — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:45:20 GMT

I am getting the following SAM error when I try to create a new volumne group:

Create New Volume Group(sqmdesa) ┐│
│ ┌ Error (sqmdesa) ┐ ││
│ Co│ │ ││
│ │ The command used to create physical volume alternate links, │ ││
│ [│ /sbin/vgextend, has failed. The stderr output from the command is │ ││
│ │ shown below. Note that the volume group has been created and will │ ││
│ [│ function normally, although the Logical Volume Manager will not have │ ││
│ │ the ability to automatically switch to an alternate connection in │ ││
│ [│ case the primary connection should fail. │ ││
│ [│ vgextend: Physical Volume "/dev/dsk/c8t0d1" contains no LVM information
Can anyone let me know how to get around this?Thx in advance

Shalom,

There apears to be two paths to the disk.

The Volume group is going to work but pvlinks may not work correctly.

pvcreate the disk and try again.

hi perhaps you will need to do a pvcreate on this PV ..."/dev/dsk/c8t0d1"

do a pvcreate and then vgextend.

#pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c8t0d1
#vgextend /dev/sqmdesa /dev/dsk/c8t0d1

post the O/P of the above comands as you execute them.
