Hi,

Did someone manually removed the file /dev/vgapp/group ?

Provide these outputs

#ll /dev/vgapp/group
#file /dev/vgapp/group

Hi,

Apart from this you can lvremove and vgremove can used for remove a vg.

I guess you didn't able to create the vg, because of maxvgs limitations. for more chking you can verify using the command

#vgdisplay vgapp

Hi

Please check the group file in /dev/vgapp
#ll /dev/vgapp

I believe group file is available under /dev/vgapp. Create a group file under /dev/vgapp and try exporting it.
#mknod /dev/vgapp/group c 64 0xXXXXXX (minor shud be unique)

#vgexport vgapp
