pb with vgimport

Crutescu Mircea_1 — Fri, 22 Oct 2004 08:28:29 GMT

hello,

i am using SSSU and business copy on an EVA5000 to have copy of 2 VG, but on the same system, just mount them on a "save" directory.

what i have done :
- vgexport with mapfile of the source VG
- creating snapclone on the EVA5000 and present them to the host
- reconfiguring securepath
- do a vgchgid on the needed disks (1 disk for the 1st VG and 2 disks for the second VG)

then, i'm doing a vgimport and try to activate the VGs with a vgchange.

the problem is the next one :

on the directory /dev/vg1, i have :
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 64 0x015000 Oct 22 14:37 group
brw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x010006 Oct 22 14:37 lvarch

and in /dev/vg2 :
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 64 0x014000 Oct 22 14:37 group
brw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x010006 Oct 22 14:37 lvdata2

so the lvol lvarch in vg1 and lvdata2 in vg2 have the same ID, which is not correct for me.

do i have forgot something ?
is there any way to correct this error ?

thanks for your help.
Vincent

Not exactly sure, but your group files look wrong....

Should be 0x140000 nd 0x150000

Why did you do a vgchgid?

I suggest you vgexport, and try again...

mkdir /dev/vg1
mknod /dev/vg1/group c 64 0x140000

mkdir /dev/vg2
mknod /dev/vg2/group c 64 0x150000

Though, I prefer to use HEX for the minor numbers - as that is what they really are...
