how to rebuild the logical volume from the beginning without formatting the LVM , in RHEL AS 4 , with EMC devices

[Matti_Kurkela]

If possible, use vgcfgrestore.

The LVM utilities automatically create backups of the LVM configuration in /etc/lvm/backup and /etc/lvm/archive. These can be used with vgcfgrestore to restore missing or corrupted LVM metadata.
