vgimport - Couldn't access the list of physical volumes for volume group

[Joao Rei]

Does vgimport fails with "Couldn't access the list of physical volumes for volume group" when LUns are in read-only mode?

Shalom,

ioscan -fnC disk

Get a lit of physical volumes,

pvdisplay -v the disks, make sure they are there.

strings /etc/lvmtab

Make sure the disks in question are not part of a volume group.

Give us the full command and response code $? from the command.

I was moving the LUNs to another system:

vgexport -v -s -m mapfile vgtest

and on the second system

mkdir...
mknod...
vgimport -v -s -m mapfile vgtest

The problem was solved with a reboot on the second system.

Thanks all

Reboot solved the issue.
