Minor number issue during restore of an m_n_r archive

[noldi]

Hi,

we created an m_n_r archive on an HPVM with this command:

# make_net_recovery -s chvse06 -a chvse06:/reco/uxas780 -d "Recovery-Archive of uxas780 for duplication" -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

where "vg00" is LVM V1 and "vg01" is of LVM V2.2 type.

Now, the first attempt of a recovery failed with this:

ERROR: The minor number (0) for the volume group "vg00" is identical to that
of the volume group "vg01". This is not allowed. Change the config
file(s) with these settings.

We changed the minor number of "vg01" in the config-File and we could successfully recover the system.

I think the Ignite-UX recovery should only complain with the above error if both vg's are of the same version because I had no problems creating "vg01" with that minor number.

I assume that minor numbers have to be different only within the same LVM version of the vg metadata.

Best Regards,

Arnold
