How to remove stuff from lvmtab

[Jeremy Loukinas]

I was adding some vg's and lv's on an HP11.00 server. I noticed that when I checked my /etv/lvmtab file there was the this weird /dev/dsk/disk_query in vg02? I wouldn't worry about to much but now I can't create any logical volume because it thinks its missing a pv.

/dev/vg02
/dev/dsk/c0t1d2
/dev/dsk/c0t1d3
/dev/dsk/c0t1d4
/dev/dsk/c0t1d5
/dev/dsk/c0t1d6
/dev/dsk/c0t1d7
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0
/dev/dsk/c0t2d1
/dev/dsk/c0t2d2
/dev/dsk/c0t2d3
/dev/dsk/disk_query <<<<

Look at the man pages on vgscan. It talks about recreating lvmtab.

Jeremy,

As a first attempt, I would mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.save and run vgscan -av.

You don't edit /etc/lvmtab directly

The system updates it based on what is mounted.

Look at /etc/fstab make changes there, umount stuff you no longer want mounted and /etc/lvmtab will magically show things the way you want.

Your specific error would have me wanting to reboot after checking /etc/fstab

Have you try to recreate your lvmtab file ?
# cd /etc
# mv lvmtab lvmtab.org
# vgscan -a

After moving the lvmtab file and letting vgscan -av recreate it removed that disk_query business.
