[leyearn]

My system is HP9000 D370
os:hp-ux 10.20
when make_recoveried to backup the system
the error message displayed
make_recovery(482):Call to system failed.errno=0
Cleanup

message in /var/opt/ignite/logs/makerc.log1

vgcfgbackup:/etc/lvmtab is out of date with the running kernel:Kernel indicates 5 disks for "dev/vg00",/etc/lvmtab has 4 disk!

in fact there are 4 disk in vg00

I looked at the /etc/lvmtab
/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0

I #mved lvmtab lvmtab.old

#vgscan -v
the content of the new /etc/lvmtab
/dev/
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0

there is no "vg00"

what I should do next?

Do you get the same error after #vgscan -v ?
In your second post, it shows /dev/vg00?

You can try vgreduce with -f option

# vgreduce -f vg00

This option is commonly when 'Cur PV' is greater then 'Act PV' in vgdisplay output (as it is in your case).

Hi leyearn,

This is a problem in the kernel.
