loadfile vgimport loaded but not wok

[Aungshuman Paul]

Can anyone help regarding following problem :

I boot the system in recovery shell mode then load necessary file including vgimport. But when we execute the vgimport command it shows the following error :
# loadfile vgimport
# vgimport
/sbin/sh: vgimport: not found

try to give /usr/bin/vgimport

[atul2701]

correct path is /usr/sbin.
try /usr/sbin/vgimport

[Aungshuman Paul]

# loadfile /usr/sbin/vgimport
ERROR: File: /usr/sbin/vgimport not found.
NOTE: Retrying loadfile command...
ERROR: File: /usr/sbin/vgimport not found.
NOTE:

Please suggest. During the time of loadfile it did not shows any error. and I also found the following output from the /sbin path :

# ls
awk fs init loadfile mkdir ramfs sync
bdf fs_type insf ls mknod reboot unlink
cat fsdaemondir ioinit lssf mksf rescan vgchange
chmod funzip ioscan lvchange mv rm vgimport
chown get_disk_layout kcshutdown lvlnboot pstat rmsf
exit_0 get_partition_info launch map_root_lv pvcreate sh
# pwd
/sbin

And it also not work for path :

# loadfile /usr/bin/vgimport

ERROR: File: /usr/bin/vgimport not found.
NOTE: Retrying loadfile command...

And all the not working command look like

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 13 May 13 04:57 vgchange -> ./lvm_wrapper
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 13 May 13 04:57 vgimport -> ./lvm_wrapper

in the /sbin path.

Please suggest.

Hi,

Try /usr/sbin/vgimport as atul said, not /usr/bin

what is OS version?

If it is 11.31..

see below attached logs
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 13 Mar 9 2009 vgcfgbackup -> ./lvm_wrapper
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 13 Mar 9 2009 vgcfgrestore -> ./lvm_wrapper

lr-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 13 Mar 9 2009 vgsync -> ./lvm_wrapper

All vg related commands are symbolic linked to /sbin/lvm_wrapper.

I think it will help you
