vgcreate issue

[Daniel Varabief]

Hi,
So, a workaround is to use a different minor number. Or, if you want to use the same minor number,
#vgexport vg01
check:
#ll /dev/*/group
Reboot the system.
After reboot:
#pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0
Create vg01:
#mkdir /dev/vg01
#mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64 0x010000
#vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0

Also, check if the latest LVM cumulative patch was installed (according with your OE version).
BTW, what is your OE version? :)

Best Regards,
Dan

By running the "find" commond, there is nothing.

My OE is B.11.23.0505, don't know what's the lvm patch for this.

Now I am trying, i reboot the system first, and then re-create,after remove the VG01

Hi,

the problem is solved by add reboot before re-create vg01. Thanks everyone.

Most recent LVM cumulative patch for 11.23 is PHKL_34094, recommended is PHKL_33312. Please check the patch database.
