ignite-ux error: /etc/lvmtab is out of date with the running kernel

[Wina A. Buenavista]

hi, i am currenly doing ignite-ux and encountered an error on the vgcfgbackup on one of the VGs (here is the exact error):
"vgcfgbackup: /etc/lvmtab is out of date with the running kernel:Kernel indicates 3 disks for "/dev/FSMD02"; /etc/lvmtab has 2 disks.
Cannot proceed with backup."
I already did:
mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
vgscan -v
but still encountered the same error! please help! i need to do ignite bec. i am shutting down the system later tonight.

strings /etc/lvmtab shows correct number and correct disks (1 primary and 1 alternate) used by the VG.

what could be the problem then?

Hi:

Technical Knowledge Base document #KBRC00000632 describes the procedure you should follow:

hi james,
great! thanks for the help. i was able to use the document and it worked. i skipped some steps though bec. it was not applicable to me. btw, here are the steps that i did:
1. vgcfgrestore -n /dev/VGNAME -l (so i was able to get the missing disks)
2. vgcfgrestore -n /dev/VGNAME
3. mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
4. vgscan -v
5. strings /etc/lvmtab
hurrayyyyy!!! the disks are complete! many thanks! :)
