VG00 not visible by vgdisplay or in SAM

[Andre Franklin]

I have an RP440 with a DS2405 attached. A few weeks ago there was in issue with the DS2405 that required maintenance. The issue was resolved.

Now when I attempt to view vg00 in SAM or using vgdisplay I get an error message saying:

ksh: vgdisplay: not found

I performed a vgscan and attached the results of that command.

vgscan: Couldn't access the list of physical volumes for volume group "/dev/vg01

Please help.

>>ksh: vgdisplay: not found

This means only that the 'vgdisplay' file is not in your PATH.

What happens if you do '/usr/sbin/vgdisplay -v vg00'?

The report is returned:

Following these steps and then running the vgscan returned my volume. Thanks
