The lvol does not exist. It will not exist if the volume is not activated.

> vgdisplay: Volume group not activated.

This is why fsck is failing.

The volume cannot be activated since required disks are not found. They are found by reading the LVM header on the disk. Since ioscan reports the disks are present and diskinfo can query the disks, then something has changed the header information. You can use the attached script showLVMinfo to report back what is on each disk:

# showLVMinfo c5t0d0 c5t2d0 c5t4d0

It will either report a valid LVMREC for each disk, or report back that there no LVMREC at all, or report on some other volume group serial numbers. Post the results from the above script.

[sreedhar2u]

it is giving syntax error

{HP-UX-root}# showLVMinfo c5t0d0 c5t2d0 c5t4d0
showLVMinfo[21]: Syntax error at line 29 : `do' is not expected.

[宋明哲]

that's means Ur Three disk missing the VGRA; Have U Pvcreate these disk from this Server or Other server?

[sreedhar2u]

from the same server

[stephen peng]

you have pvcreate one or all pvs of that vg01? oh, you would miss vg01.

[Torsten.]

You did a pvcreate ???

When you transferred the file to the HP-UX box, did you specify ASCII and not BINARY?

[sreedhar2u]

Oh, script working now

# ./showLVMinfo c5t0d0 c5t2d0 c5t4d0
