vgchange: Couldn't set the unique id for volume group

[SimonD]

Hello,
I have a 4 node MCSG cluster.
I extended a volume group on the first node and I exported it with "p" and "m" options creating the map file.
On the others nodes, I made a vgexport of the VG (without -p option) and then the vgimport using the map file previously created.
The VG works properly on the first node, but on the others nodes, when I do the vgchange, I have the following error:

rudolph:/#>vgchange -a e vgoragp
vgchange: Couldn't set the unique id for volume group "vgoragp":
File exists

I see this error for the first time. What does it means? How I can fix the problem?

ll /dev/*/group

and make sure you give the vg a unique id.

Later,
Bill

Try exporting and importing the VG with the -s switch.
