i loss /dev/vgxx

[Manuel_5]

I can recover /dev/vgxx from tape?

[Dave La Mar]

Manuel -
Your question is a bit vague. Dependent upon your need -

1. vgrestore may fix your problem
2. data from tape may fix yor problem

Is it data, or the vg altogether?

Best of luck.

What part have you lost, the whole directory and it's contents ...?
or the volume group ?

[Steven E. Protter]

If you made a make_tape_recovery tape, yes.

Boot off the tape and restore the volume groups you included in the recovery tape.

If you didn't and you somehow deleted the files in /dev/vgxx

No, you will need to go through another procedure.

Tell us what you did and someone will help you.

mkdir /dev/vgxx
mknod /dev/vgxx/group c 64 0x#0000 (* where # is the previous minor number used *)
vgcreate /dev/vgxx
vgcfgrestore /dev/vgxx /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ

To find the disk of /dev/vgxx

vgcfgrestore -f /dev/lvmconf/vgxx.conf -l

-or-

strings /etc/lvmtab | more

mount -a

The best way is to probably restore from backup tape providing you have one that works. What format is the backup in?

If you don't have a backup it can be done manually but it is extremely messy and further problems could arise.

How did it get like this?

I have hp-ux 11.00
I loss alone directory and it's contents(/dev/vg03 and /dev/vg04).
Data and operating system is OK.

Hi,

If you are only missing the file in /dev/vg03 and /dev/vg04 then the data should be fine.

You can restore the files from backup or recreate them. Restoring from backup would be the best idea as recreating them may get tricky if you can't remember the group name and if the lvols were named differently.

Cheers!

thanks to all.
