I have created VG vgxx on node1 with one pv /dev/dsk/c1t0d2 and lv lvol1. Then created a Map file vgxx.map and ftped it to node2.
Then on node2 i created /dev/vgxx and /dev/vgxx/group.
Then i am running :
vgimport -s -v -m vgxx.map vgxx
But then this command simply hangs and i am nt even able to kill the process. What could be possible reason.
I am able to see the PV from both nodes and thier H/w paths are also identical.
On node1 i am able to activate vgxx and mount the filesystems and there it is working fine.
Thanks for all your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Girish

Re: vgimport hangs.....
Also, did you use the binary mode of transfer when you ftp'ed the file over to the second node.
And Like Pete said, did you use the -s option while creating the map file.
Hope this helps.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
Make sure when you export, you use the -s
vgexport -p -v -s -m mapfile.map /dev/vgxxx
Ftp to node 2 in binary mode
vgimport -v -s -m mapfile.map /dev/vgxxx
That should work. Hope it helps

SolutionIf it is hanging and if you are not able to kill, then there is an IO subsystem problem. Check 'ioscan' and see if there are any devices that are failing.Most likely your 'ioscan' may also be hanging.
Look at syslog.log file and 'dmesg' outputs for any errors.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
Thanks for your response but i have done both vgexport/import with -s option so that is not an issue.
Shridhar i doubt the same what you are telling but ioscan is not hanging but i tried doing "vgscan -a" (just to check whether hanged vgimport did something to the disks) it hangs.
Waiting for your inputs!!!!
Regards,
Girish.
ps. Will assign points soon.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
If this is a fresh install did you check that you do not have conflicting SCSI ID's on the cards.
By Default the initiator ID=7. On the secondary system you must change it.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
Seems to be SCSI Initiator ID Conflict .
Change the SCSI ID as mentioned in previous post.
We were also facing the same problem and after changing the SCSI ID problem got solved.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
Did you reboot the system?. I am not asking you to reboot (in Windoz way) to fix the problem but since there seems to be quite a few vgscan/vgimport sessions in hanging state, you can't possibly run vgimports. All the devices that have issues will be gone after the reboot and you may get a better picture. If it still didn't work after reboot, then I suggest you install latest LVM patches.

Re: vgimport hangs.....
another question is, Is the hardware set up correctly so that both systems can see the drive. If it is scsi (non-SAN connected) one of the systems should have the id of the scsi card set to 6 (the default is 7) also the terminators must be correct.
Can you do a diskinfo /dev/rdsk/
