Hi,

Run vgdisplay -v e see you have you have "PV Status" like unavailable.

Compare entries in /etc/lvmtab with output from "strings /etc/lvmtab" for your VG.

Hi Amit,

Did you import this volume group from another system and did the vgimport report any errors? Please post any errors you may have received in addition to the ones posted.

cheers!

We have EMC..but a couple things we do is:

First we create our mapfile (NOT using the -s option), with our links UP, on the primary node.
Then we copy this mapfile to the node that houses the BCV's
When we go to import the mapfile:
1. Split the links
2. Create a file that has the c-t-d- addresses for the BCV disks only, in one continual line.
3. Do your vgimport like this:
vgimport -v -m /path/ -f /path/ /dev/vgname

Generally they create fairly easy...then do your vgchange (might have to -c -n if your original is in MC/SG). Remember to do your vgcfgbackup...and I generally run fsck on everything first..then mount them.

Now go back and establish your link again.

Done...
Hope this helps you,
Regards,
Rita
