Lost VG(s)

[Olga_1]

Thanks that did it.
What about VG02
it has two entries in
strings /etc/lvmtab.old
/dev/vg02
/dev/dsk/c5t1d0
/dev/dsk/c2t2d0

Which one to use?

Olga,

Apparently both disks belonged to vg02, so use both: /usr/sbin/vgimport -v -m /etc/lvmconf/vg02.mapfile /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c5t1d0 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0 .

Hi (again) Olga:

For vg02, given your old 'etc/lvmtab', do:

# /usr/sbin/vgimport -v -m /etc/lvmconf/vg02.mapfile /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c5t1d0 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0

Since both disks were part of 'vg02' you need to import both. See the man pages for 'vgimport' and 'vgexport' for more information, to.

Regards!

BOTH,

vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg02 /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0

vgimport ...

try
# mount -a

however, I wonder what happened during your installation...

Try
# swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v -E "^#|configur"

this command should list nothing, else you have filesets in the state corrupted, transient or installed.

Regards,
Bernhard

Is there any way to re-do vgimport?
I used just one disk instead of two:

/usr/sbin/vgimport -v -m /etc/lvmconf/vg02.mapfile /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c5t1d0

[Bernhard Mueller]

vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg02 /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
vgexport vg02
vgimport .... /dev /dev

Hi (again) Olga:

In response to your questin of what to do after doing a 'vgimport' with only one of the two physical volumes:

Do a 'vgexport' and then a 'vgimport' with the correct device files. This will correctly cleanup your current '/etc/lvmtab'. Note that you will need to rebuild your volume group device file ('dev/vg02/group') *before* the 'vgimport'. The 'vgexport' removes these files.

Regards!

/usr/sbin/vgimport -v -m /etc/lvmconf/vg02.mapfile /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c5t1d0 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0

that would have been the correct line above,

sorry for that.

Bernhard

Hello!

Restore first the configuration:
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vgXX /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

Export the VG (remove from OS):
vgexport vgXX

Import the VG (add to OS):
vgimport /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
