after make_recovery questions

[Chris Fadrowski]

Did a make_recovery. Put everything in vg00 back. It does not put vg01 or other back in until you do a vgcfgrestore. Question is, i have a mount point of /u01 that I intentionally deleted after the MR. All info on /u01 (mount point for a file system) is still there, however i can NOT mount it. I tryed mkfs, and newfs and this does not work. It will not let me make a file system on this volume. Do i need to remove it from /etc/fstab first?

Hi Chris,

You could try the following:
mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
vgscan -p -v # to see what's gonna happen
vgscan -a # will scan PV and rebuild /etc/lvmtab

Chris,

When you perform a mksf or newfs, this will sort of format the disk.

Do you have the map files, which was mentioned in the previous question you?ve asked.

If yes you might be able to import the VG.

Hello Chris,
which version of Ignite/UX did you use? There was an
older release (1.59, or so) which actually destroyed
all the other VGs :-(
But if you used a fairly current one (like 2.5) then
you can just make the VG-directory and the group-
device and "vgimport" the other VG.
Import/export does not change a bit of the VGs, it
just works on your "/etc/lvmtab"!
HTH,
