vg's missing after san-move boot-disk

[Heiko_7]

goodmorning,

we move our root disk from one san to another san using ignite.

after booting from the new bootdisk, the vg's are not activated. moving the lvmtab and running vgscan give the following errors.

the volumegroup was nog matched with any physical volumes.

can any one give me a hint, how to resolve this WITHOUT doing a vgimport of everysingle vg

With kind regard,

Heiko

u mean u just moved the root disk...right?

have u checked the device names are same and not changes?

i don see anything apart from vgimport, with whatever u have mentioned.

Can u please give more details.

Have you tried to do a vgcfgrestore?

you need to have map files of all VG's and need to import it on new disk. If you do a ignite recovery, then you will see all VG's. But if you do a ignite install on another SAN disk, it will not show all VG's until you do a vgimport
