Can't activate volume group
The system in question is an ignite of a system running service guard, but this system does not use service guard. In trying to activate the volume group (vgsample), we get the following error:
vgchange: Activation mode requested for the volume group "/dev/vgsample" conflicts with configured mode.
We are very familiar with this error in a service guard environment. Because it needs to be in exclusive mode for a service guard environment, it is cluster aware. However in this system, it is not in a servicguard cluster, so we would run the following commands:
# vgchange -c n vgsample # vgchange -a y vgsample
However after running those commands, we are still receiving the error that the activation mode requested for the volume group conflicts with configured mode.
This volume group has been up and working fine for months. However, we just replicated the disks in this volume group from the original system, and now are unable to make the VG not cluster aware. Service guard is not functioning on this server, so I'm unable to run any service guard commands such as cmcldeleteconf or anything like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Can't activate volume group
Changing the VG so that it was not cluster-aware should have worked.
Can you activate the volume in exclusive or shared mode specifically (-a e or -a s options)?
