Re: Linux server not booting
And I trust those outputs are from prior to rebooting your server?
Where does the boot process stop?
Did you install Powerpath correctly?

Re: Linux server not booting
Your best course of action right now is boot Linux rescue, mount your OS partition and revert your lvm.conf back
Any reason for the lvm.conf filter change? It really should be handled carefully sir..

Re: Linux server not booting
filter = [ "a/dev/emcpower$/", "a|/dev/cciss/*|", "r/.*/" ]
If you've removed /dev/cciss from the filter and your server is a Proliant one with an embedded RAID controller -- then that explains your inability to boot good sir.
Revert yourlvm.conf by booting rescue or a favourite Linux Rescue ISO of yours (Knoppix of SystemRescue CD)...
And welcome to the Community sir. And let us KNOW if you've been helped.
Cheers!

Re: Linux server not booting
>>filter = [ "a/.*/" ]
This first filter default by LVM conf file.Here after i commented this and created my own filter.
>>#filter = [ "a/sda[1-9]$/", "r/sd.*/", "r/disk.*/", "a/.*/" ]
i created my own filter for that.after rebooting the server it's not booting.
>>#filter = [ "a/c0d0.*/", "a/emcpower.*/", "r/.*/" ]
After that i made changes in the second server in lvm.conf file the above filter line.
These changes only i made in lvm.conf file.
here after we need to perform any commands.

Re: Linux server not booting
AGAIN:
Pls revert to your original lvm.conf file.
IF your server is a Proliant HP Server with a RAID controller, then your lvm.conf file edit WILL NOT Work!
Dear out.
