Couldn't access physical volumes

Ian Killer_1 — Sat, 27 Jul 2002 00:59:44 GMT

Hi there...
I'm trying to import a vg for sharing in HA cluster in 10.20. Here...

root@rysap109 # vgimport -m mapfile_vg08 -s -v /dev/vg08
Beginning the import process on Volume Group "/dev/vg08".
Couldn't access the list of physical volumes for volume group "/dev/vg08".

I've tried to insf the hw path with no joy. Any ideas?

Hi, you're not supplying the list of physical volumes belonging to vg08...

when you made vgexport you can create a file with disk of vg08

vgexport -pv -m /tmp/mvg08 /dev/vg08 > /tmp/dvg08

Edit file /tmp/dvg08 and delete firts line "Beginning the export process on Volume..."

Copy both files to other node, and make vgimport process, and be sure that the device files are the same on all nodes belong to the HA cluster.

vgimport -v -m /tmp/mvg08 /dev/vg08 `cat /tmp/dvg08`

I hope this can help

regards

I spotted that but got the same message when I included the paths for vg08.

Thanks for the tips...

Did you use the -s option when doing the vgexport?
