lvlnboot -R

[Leon Smith, Jr]

I am getting the following error:
Volume Group configuration for /dev/maxvg1 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/maxvg1.conf
vgcfgbackup: /etc/lvmtab is out of date with the running kernel:Kernel indicates 13 disks for "/dev/testvg"; /etc/lvmtab has 12 disks.
How can I get this volume to come up on boot?

Shalom,

1) You might have lost a disk. Use cstm/mstm or xstm in X to diagnose and possibly replace the disk.
2) grep -i lbolt /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log This will show us if there has been a system disk failure.

If all is well and all disks are accounted for:

cd /etc
mv lvmtab lvmtab.save
vgscan -a

Hi Leon:

What did you do before receiving this error?

Perchance did you perform a 'vgscan'?

What we did was ensure that the disk group is deactivated move the HDS controller port and rediscover the LUNs did a vgimport vgscan and reboot. once the system comes back I am unable to see my volume unless I reactivate it again and remount.

"I am unable to see my volume unless I reactivate it again and remount."

So to sum up, what is the problem now ? You are not able to activate the VG at all or it is not getting automatically activated at bootup ?

[Leon Smith, Jr]

That is correct.

[Aussan]

it's most likely not activating and mounting at boot time, take a look at /etc/lvmrc
is the AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=1 or 0?
if it's 0 change it to 1
