How to change minor id for volume group

[Arto Huuhilo]

I have HP-Cluster with two machines. After the cluster was created we added one local disk to the backup node of the cluster. Later I noticed that the new VG has the same minor id as the first VG of the one cluster package . So the cluster package does not run on the node anymore.

Is there a way to change the VG minor id for the local VG so that we don't lose any data?

use vgexport/vgimport to remove/recreate the new and unique vg
vgexport
mkdir /dev/vg
mknod c 64 0x00000
vgimport /dev/vg

for more info do:
man vgexport
man vgimport
