Re: check volume group active,
To check whether the volume group is active or not, use 'vgdisplay
# vgdisplay /dev/vgXX
If the vg is not active, the output will show to you that the vg is not active.
To activate / de-activate, use 'vgchange' command.
To activate :
# vgchange -a y /dev/vgXX
To de-activate :
# vgchange -a n /dev/vgXX
For more detail, check manpage of vgchange :
# man vgchange
Hope this information can help you.
Cheers,
AW

Re: check volume group active,
if it is active, you will see the details of the volume group. if it is not active, you will see the message sayin that vg was not activated yet.
to activate a volume group, there are different options for different types of vg's
if vg belongs to a single system (most common)
vgchange -a y vg_name_here
activates the volume group
if this was a volume group used and controlled by a cluster, activation must be done in exclusive mode if it needs to be done outside the cluster control, as follows:
vgchange -a e vg_name_here
if this is a shared volume group but not belonging to a cluster (I don't know any examples why it gets configured that way) it gets activated as follows:
vgchange -a s vg_name_here
To deactivate a volume group, regardles of how it got activated (any of the above)
vgchange -a n vg_name_here
