Hello,

Beginning the import process on Volume Group "/dev/vg_ops_prod1".
Couldn't access the list of physical volumes for volume group "/dev/vg_ops_prod1".

Hi Jimmy:

First, follow my suggestion in your companion post and attempt to rectify your 'vgscan' errors:

Hi,
You should enter:
mkdir /dev/vg_ops_prod1
mknod /dev/vg_ops_prod1/group c 64 0x0Y0000
where Y - unique number; check ll /dev/*/group
vgimport /dev/vg_ops_prod1 /dev/dsk/firstdisk ... /dev/dsk/lastdisk
You have to enter ALL disk in the group

See the syntax of vgimport command in 3rd step of Piotrs reply. you need to specify all the disks device files which originally belonged to this whole VG.

Good luck.
