volume group belongs to a different cluster

[Simon P White]

We are in the middle of a DR exercise. We have split the disks which are kept in sync via CA. I have now tried to start the package on the remote side and am getting the above error. Any ideas? Do I need to run vgchgid? The package is down on the primary site. I'm trying to start the package on the remote site. The cluster name is different to the primary site

As the DR side is a different cluster, you need to set the new cluster ID.
do:
vgchange -c n
vgchange -a y
vgchange -c y
vgchange -a n

And then retest

i gues u ll hv to setup the clusters once again at the DR site as the vglock disk holds machine specific information for the first cluster.

Simon,

You need to do first vgchgid when all vgs are in deactivated mode and then again activate the vgs. vgchgid will change the necessary LVM headers to allow the host to activate the VGs.
