LVM config after re-loading from IGNITE tape

I attempted to re-load a system with an IGNITE tape to a new disk array (Model 20 to a Model 20). I used the same paths, set the scsi ID's ...

Booted off the ignite tape and loaded root to a mirror group ...
It seems that I have messed up the lvmtab ..

output of "strings lvmtab "
strings lvmtab
/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c3t5d0
/dev/vg01
/dev/dsk/c3t5d1

does not match Ioscn output
ioscan -fnC disk

disk 3 52.6.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE HP C2247M1
/dev/floppy/c4t6d0 /dev/rfloppy/c4t6d0


the disks were are /dev/dsk/c3t5d0 and /dev/dsk/c3t5d1, ioscan shows :
/dev/floppy/c3t5d0 and /dev/floppy/c3t5d1 ..

Any ideas on how to correct this ?? or should I start over ??

Thanks

do an insf -e to create the device files for the disks.
Good Luck!!!

Hi,

Strange.....

Is this an 11.00 system?

The floppy and rfloppy are normal but you should also have the dsk and rdsk.

What you could do is run "insf -e" which recreates all the device files.
That should fix the situation for you.

insf -e rebuilt the device files ...
