one of 2 fibre cable pulled and vg deactivated. now can't acitvate VG ?
I pulled the cable to c11 intentionally
Now when I try to activate the vg, it tells me device does not exist (which is correct). But, I forgot to vgreduce the c11 path from VG before deactivating the VG. Now, I want to go back and vgreduce in order to do that, I need to activate the VG. How can i go about activating the VG ?
# vgchange -a y ops

rename lvmtab. and then do a vgscan. Will that take care of it.

Re: one of 2 fibre cable pulled and vg deactivated. now can't acitvate VG ?
you can give it a try by having a proper backup of your /etc/lvmtab.
Also, i noticed this line in your error that
***** vgchange: Activation mode requested for the volume group "/dev/ops" conflicts with configured mode. ***********
is this volume group is a part of the cluster?
Can you paste the output of the current /etc/lvmtab.

******** vgscan will recover a volume group only if it has been activated at least once since the last boot, and the Volume Group ID is unique********

Please post the output of strings /etc/lvmtab and strings /etc/lvmtab**old -- if you have move lvmtab before.
Also post output of ioscan -fnC disk
