vgimport faild between vm guest

I have two rx8640, with hpux 11v2:

RX8640 1
VMHOST
VMGUEST nodo1

RX8640
VMHOST
VMGUEST nodo2


I try to vgimport the vgs from VM guest node 1 to node 2. The vimport is succesful,but the lvmtab don't shown the imported vgs.

The disks are in the two nodes, the two nodes are clons.

I used vgscan -av to try recreate lvmtab but the file is the same.

Is there issue to try to share vg in vg guest?

Re: vgimport faild between vm guest

Hi Jimmy,
If you want to import the VGs from VM Node1 to VM Node2,
Do the following:
1) Create a map file with the "vgexport -p -s" option
2) ftp the map file to the other vm
3) Import the vg with the "vgimport -s" option.

Remember to add all the disks on the vmhosts that are shared, to both the VMs.

Also please mention the HPVM version that you are using.
