Hi,

ur command is wrong on 2nd server
it should be the follwing (assuming u have copied the map file to the 2nd node)

1. mkdir /dev/vg_spcb_bancs_dbday
2. mknod /dev/vg_spcb_bancs_dbday/group c 64 0xNN0000
3. vgimport -v -s -m /tmp/vg_spcb.map /dev/vg_spcb_bancs_dbday

Hi,

Please see the command I have shown carefully
Please do not use -p while importing
-p is for preview - it will only show you steps that will be carried out - but will not actually carryout the steps.
Try without the -p option - as I have shown and thren check.
