lost a vg

[Peter Roege]

Hi
Can anyone help me resolv this problem:
On one controller i have 2 disks
named: vgo1 and vgbackup
because off using a tape backup from another identicial workstation but with different scsi controller I cannt access vgbackup ( disk #2 )
the configuration seams to hold the other controller still

do i modify FTAB or is there other wayes
I have tryet to use LVM but i cannt put the vgbackup in place

This sounds like a SCSI ID conflict but it's not clear. Please post the output of ioscan -fn and the output of "strings /etc/lvmtab" and those data should let the computer itself tell us what is wrong.

Is this an fbackup tape or an ignite tape of some sort ?

Best regards,

hi first thanks for the fast respon

yes it is fbackup ( SAM backup )
and i will try to get the output for you

fbackup doesn't care where the controller is since it works at the filesystem level.

If you are replacing a disk drive for that disk, you need to rebuild the LVM information and the FS information as well.

OK Kent but how do i rebuild the schema
sorry little novice
