Weired warning

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

I have did a import on adoptive node which has EMC array connected, and turned up with following warnings.
I understand that someone has added these volumes to these disks, but not propagated on other side. What best option someone thinks to wipe this out as VG is not active on adoptive node, and i want both sides to be in synx.

Thanks a lot-------Prashant

Hi,

You can create the device files manually on the adoptive node using mknod.

Make sure you create the character as well as the block device and they have the same major/minor number and the same names as they are on the primary node.

Hope this helps.

Is there any way to remove the lv-defination from physical disk.

Thnx

Hi,

lvremove is the only way. But for that to work, the vg should be active on the node.

If you delete the device files and leave it like that, doing a pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/cxtydz would show you extents with "???" in place of the lv name.

Hope this helps.

Hi Prashant

Well I would get a fresh map file from the primary side and just redo the procedure. Then it will know of the new lvols and their respective names.
