vgdisplay: Volume group not activated.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "/dev/vgwwprod03".

 

Please run vgdisplay -v vgwwprod03

 

on the owner cluster node.

 

 

Also attach

 

# cat /etc/lvmpvg

 

# strings /etc/lvmtab

 

# strings /etc/lvmtab_p

 

 

 

 

Likely your lvmpvg file does not fit the configuration.


Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Vgdisplay Error: Information in "/etc/lvmtab" or "/etc/lvmtab_p" differs fro

Now you have a differnt error message!

Are the outputs from the other server?


However, the lvmpvg lists agile devices, the lvmtab_p lists legacy devices. Consider to use "vgdsf" to convert.

Hope this helps!

Re: Vgdisplay Error: Information in "/etc/lvmtab" or "/etc/lvmtab_p" differs fro

Torsten,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I read the 'vgdsf' document and got some understanding about its use.

 

But, since these are production systems, I would like to know the procedure with respect to my problem.

 

Can you help me with it?

 

Let me know if you need more info.

 

Thanks
