hi,

some application / scheduled job is backuping your VG-s,

form the man page = vgexport

-p Preview the actions to be taken but do not update the /etc/lvmtab file or remove the devices file. This option is best used in conjunction with the -v option.

that menas it hase no impact to your system.

i guess...this may be result of ignite backup or any backup procedure runs on your system.

#nothing to worry..it does not do any harm it just creating mapfiles of your vgs.

hi,

if you use DataProtector, Netbackup or some backup solution, check if you have some scheduled backup jobs.

Hi,
This message you can find if you export vg
Find out is any body taken vgmap file or ignite.

Go through hitory file and find out is any vgexport command was run,verify crontab -l out put.

It can be of ignite backup OR a system conf collection script which you scheduled on cron.

usually i had seen ignite backup rumay be can vgcfgbackup & vgmap file backup. BUt the doubtful thing is its used to take map file with options "-s -p -m". here its different.

So i feel, it will be because of any script, which taking mapfile backup.

Have a look on cronlog & check which are the script ran on May 26 7AM.
