VG data restoration

[Sergei Kazakov]

I have failed a SCSI host adapter on on of workstations and I can't read any information from two hard drives which organized as one volume group (two logical volumes on each hard drive = four logical volumes in volume group). Is it possible to read those disks on similar workstation?

Hi Yes You can !

Move Hard disk to another workstation and use vgscan . After vgscan run vgimport.

The reseason was that system idicated me about "Device I/O error ..." during backup operation. I thought that the disk failed due to motor stopped (when I was connecting that drive to PC - it hadn't spinned up. Service engineers told me that the disk is operational(they have read phisical sectors from disk). Disk was in Desktop HASS Disk Enclosure. Now I'm thinking that the Enclosure unit is ot of order (however, one disk still operational in disk array).
Thanks, anyway.
