Pb with vgchange
/dev/dsk#vgchange -a y /dev/vgESSAI
vgchange: Warning: Couldn't attach to the volume group physical volume "/dev/dsk/c11t2d1":
Cross-device link
vgchange: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c11t2d1":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
vgchange: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
vgchange: Couldn't activate volume group "/dev/vgESSAI":
Quorum not present, or some physical volume(s) are missing.
I tried to recreate lvmtab :
/dev/dsk#vgscan -p -a -v
Creating "/etc/lvmtab".
Couldn't stat physical volume "/dev/dsk/c11t0d0":
Invalid argument
.....
Couldn't stat physical volume "/dev/dsk/c14t2d0":
/dev/vgPREMS
/dev/dsk/c11t2d0
/dev/dsk/c11t2d4
/dev/dsk/c23t2d1
/dev/dsk/c23t2d4
...
Vgscan doesn't see my vg --> vgESSAI :
Following Physical Volumes belong to one Volume Group.
Unable to match these Physical Volumes to a Volume Group.
Use the vgimport command to complete the process.
/dev/dsk/c11t2d1
/dev/dsk/c24t2d1
/dev/dsk/c25t2d1
/dev/dsk/c2t2d1
/dev/dsk/c21t2d1
/dev/dsk/c22t2d1
And the end tells me :
The Volume Group /dev/vgESSAI was not matched with any Physical Volumes.
*** LVMTAB has been created successfully.
*** If PV links are configured in the system.
*** Do the following to resync information on disk.
*** #1. vgchange -a y
*** #2. lvlnboot -R
Pb : I CAN'T DO VGCHANGE -A Y.
I try to do :
- vgcfgrestore
- vgexsport/vgimport
- remove and recreate lvmtab... But nothing permitt me to retrieve my environment.
The other pb is all the disk on the beginning of my vgscan :
couldn't query physical volume ....
If someone could help me ?????
Thanks in advance...

Re: Pb with vgchange
...were these BCV mounts ?
If they were, could you share more details on what your running..
You can also do a SEARCH on cross-device link and you'll see a number of threads (including one when I hit this...) to help you also
HTH,
Rita

Re: Pb with vgchange
Then consider restoring the lvmtab file and using vgreduce -f to force disks out of the volume group.

Re: Pb with vgchange
do a ioscan first and make sure all the disks are in the CLAIMED state
# ioscan -fnC disk
try a diskinfo command on the disk
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c11t0d0
Even if the LVM headers are lost in the disk, I dont believe there will be a "cannot stat" error message from vgscan.
"Cannot stat" indicates the command was not able to open the device file for reading at all.
I will start with ioscan command. If the system is connected to a SAN environment, will be a good idea to check with your SAN admin of any zoning changes. Also make sure the there are no broken connections from the HBA to the disks :-)

Re: Pb with vgchange
You can do a diskinfo on desired device and see if the device is okay.
Check syslog for particular errors on disks.
DO
cstm << EOF > /tmp/disk$$
map
selclass type
infolog
info
EOF
check in /tmp/disk$$ for errors.
Hope above helps.
