I know I made a mistake by varyoffvg, then creating a similar vg on a
second system with the same disks sharing the same ssa cabinet but now how
to I correct the problem?
I removed the vg from the second system successfully but I cannot remove
the vg on the first system without varying it on and I can't vary it on.
On the troubled system I have:
jack_as_root:># lspv hdisk56
0516-010 lspv: Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command.
PHYSICAL VOLUME: hdisk56 VOLUME GROUP: datavgc3
PV IDENTIFIER: 000c948d922d2754 VG IDENTIFIER 000c948d922d3042
PV STATE: ???????
STALE PARTITIONS: ??????? ALLOCATABLE: ???????
PP SIZE: ??????? LOGICAL VOLUMES: ???????
TOTAL PPs: ??????? VG DESCRIPTORS: ???????
FREE PPs: ???????
USED PPs: ???????
FREE DISTRIBUTION: ???????
USED DISTRIBUTION: ???????
Also:
jack_as_root:># varyonvg datavgc3
PV Status: hdisk56 000c948d922d2754 PVNOTINVG
hdisk62 000c947dcdff623b PVNOTINVG
hdisk63 000c948d922e42ed PVNOTINVG
0516-013 varyonvg: The volume group cannot be varied on because
there are no good copies of the descriptor area.
I think I need to clear the descriptor area but how? A little help would
be appreciated.
What I initially wanted to do is move a vg from one system to another. I
think I need to export the vg after I varyoff. I will read up on what I am
trying to do but first I need to fix this.
