Ignite process and /etc/lvmconf file

[frederick hannah]

The ignite process executes a vgexport -p -m command against vgs on a server. The information of these vg groups are stored in /etc/lvmconf as vgxxx.mapfiles. However, the mapfiles created dont contain the VGID of the vgs. The lvols are there, but not the vgids. Is there a way to get ignite to add the vgid of these vgs?

Hi

can you please privide with the following O/Ps


last make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery logs

these shall be in
for make_tape_recovery
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/lastest/recovery.log

and for make_net_recovery on the ignite server at

/var/opt/ignite/clients/0X{LLA}/recovery/latest/recovery.log
as well as

swlist -l product -l bundle | grep -i ignite

from your system?

there you can see exactly in the logs if vgexport is running as part of ignite as vgexport -s option

regards

The logs show that command "vgexport -p -m" is being run. The ignite version is C.6.1.44.

Later version of Ignite/UX add the '-s' switch to the vgexport command, which adds the VGID into the mapfile.

I am running Ignite C.6.9.150 on HP-UX 11.11 and the logs shows "vgexport -s -p -m ..."

Basically, an upgrade of Ignite is needed to add the VGID to the VG map files.
