Cannot import logical volumes from a clusternode.

Hi !

In a serviceguard system, I have created a new LV and then i ran "vgexport -p -s -m , but when I try to import whith "vgimport -s -m from another node i got "vgimport: Volume group "/dev/mumpsb_vg02" already exists in the "/etc/lvmtab" file."
Why doesn't vgimport update the new LVM structure ? The above procedure i described in serviceguards manual.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Marten

Re: Cannot import logical volumes from a clusternode.

You have to vgexport /dev/mumpsb_vg02 an the second node . Also you have to run mkdir /dev/mumpsb_vg02, and recreate the group file before run the vgimport.

Your node2 already have a volume group named "mumpsb_vg02". The VG you created on node1 should have a unique name and on node2 it should be created by creating /dev/mumpsb_vg02 and making a group file, then importing the VG.
