Re: what is the status of this vg?

This looks strange, try

vgchange -a y vg02

and do the vgdisplay again.

Hope this helps!

Volume group "/dev/vg02" is already active in requested mode.

What is the result of

# lvmadm -l -V 1.0

(-l is lower case "L")

Hope this helps!

I am somewhat clear what happened, but I don't think vgdisplay show correct status of the vg in this situation, vg and lvs corrupted, but lvdisplay shows the lvs' status well.

This could be true.

What are your SAN folks doing?

Could you try "pvdisplay" against the disks?

Hope this helps!
