pvcreate
Hello,
Supose I have two servers
Server name DC name
Apple DC1 (primary site)
Lemon DC2 (DR site)
And there is a CA replication across the DC at storage level
query: I have created the one volume group ( name is test1) using 5 luns on apple server. Now I have allocated the 5 luns to lemon server at DR site . Also created the CA replication. But i have not use the pvcreate command on lemon server for 5 luns. Now my query is when the test1 vg I am activating on lemon server it will work or not.
------------------------------------
Is it mandatery to run the pvcreate command on that 5 luns allocated to lemon server.
I have done vgexport/import map file.
Thanks !!!

Re: pvcreate
pvcreate will "format" the disk, so you do this only once. Use vgexport/vgimport to import the VG information to the second host.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: pvcreate
The arrays are replicated from one site to another, so you need to import the LUNs from the array.
What kind of CA are you using?
Hope this helps!

Re: pvcreate
The DR site is a clone of the production site, right? Like a 1:1 copy, right? This is what a replication used to be.
Hope this helps!
