Hi,

It looks like you have a problem with your /etc/lvmtab file.
In any case run:
strings /etc/lvmtab
ioscan -fnCdisk

Veify that all disks mentioned in lvmtab for vg_p06_ss01.bcv1 present and in normal status (claimed).
If you reconnected the storage, the disks address can be changed.
Could you send outputs of the commands above ?

Hi Amit,

1.- "vgchange -a n" bcv disks.

2.- Synchronize bcv disks.

3.- Split bcv disks

4.- Activate bcv disks,

- Export vgs maps from primary disks.
- Export destructive disk bcvs.
- mkdir /dev/vg_bcv
- mknod /dev/vg_bcv/group c64 0xnn0000
- vgchgid /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
- vgimport -m "bcv_map" /dev/bcv_vg /dev/dsk/cxtydz

ran

Possible issues:

Hardware issues

LVM header issues

I would check to make sure you can get to all of the hardware (i.e. ioscan -fnC disk) and if you can then I would do a vgcfgrestore for those devices.

Best regards,
