lvlnboot: Volume group not activated.

[Manuales]

Hi , could you tell me what must be shown after run lvlnboot command?

and ...
why appears the following message?
root@unix # lvlnboot -v
lvlnboot: Volume group not activated.
Cannot display volume group "/dev/vgboltons1".
lvlnboot: Volume group not activated.
Cannot display volume group "/dev/vgp09sap1".

Cannot display volume group "/dev/vgp09zip".
lvlnboot: Volume group not activated.

Thanks.

You could see something like:

# lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:

The "Volume group not activated." means just that - that vg is not activated - yet the vg does exist on the server.

One example would be in a ServiceGuard cluster - the inactive node would have vg's that are not active - as they are active on the other node.
