Re: Business copy import.
Are you going to import the disk to the same system?
It says about your rdisk!!!
could you please do
#insf -eC disk
then check if the device file name is there in rdisk folder
check ioscan and see if claimed.
Then just do vgchgid
ensure all the disks in the VG must have a given as arguments to the command.
dont do a pvcreate, you will not able to do a vgimport anymore!!
Regards,
Sooraj
