could not get your question properly,
i suppose in MCSG lvmtabs would be different because each node would be taking care of some specific package and VGs.

VGs are exclusive in MCSG so lvmtab would be different in all the nodes.

Using the below option on the adoptive node

/usr/sbin/vgimport -m mapfile [-N] [-v] [-p] -s vg_name

-N get agile device files

Thanks,
