Error in vg activation

Hi,

I have created a "/dev/vg_dbq0158a" in one node and also created on another node with vgexport & vgimport.

Now i am getting following error while trying to activate the vg.

I am able to active that vg in read mode only.

vg #-> vgchange -a y "/dev/vg_dbq0158a"
vgchange: Activation mode requested for the volume group "/dev/vg_dbq0158a" conflicts with configured mode.

What could be the possible issue?

Got the solution.

vgchange -c n name of the vg.

Since this is under "Serviceguard" topic, I'm assuming you created the VG as part of a cluster, and is shareable. The correct activation mode is "vgchange -a e", unless this is part of SGeRAC, then it's "vgchange -a s".
