Auto activating VG in an HITACHI SAN disk array

[RATEFIARIVONY]

Hi All,

How do I auto-activate Volume Groups stored in an HITACHI san disk array so that i can see it after each reboot ?

Thank You.

Generally speaking, if you have the LUN's attached, the zoning has not changed, and the filesystem structure is added correctly to the /etc/fstab file, everything would be available. If you provide a little more information I could be of more assistance.

VG activation is done in /sbin/lvmrc at boot time, with the config file being in /etc/lvmrc. On a normal node, all VGs should be activated automatically. Only on Serviceguard nodes you would disable this feature (set AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=0 in /etc/lvmrc) and add vgchange commands to the function custom_vg_activation() in /etc/lvmrc.

Thanks a lot for replies,
The node will be in cluster with MC Service Guard and the guy who did the OS installation remove the vg auto-activation...
Seems like i need some training in HP clustering :)
