Hi all

I seem to have a problem where /dev/vg00 volume group exists and is active but
when looking through sam no disk group appears while when I try to do a
vgimport the the following error message occurs

vgimport -vp /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Beginning the import process on Volume Group "/dev/vg00".
Volume group "/dev/vg00" is still active.

To get the volumes to be seen in sam I had to restore an lvmtab file from an
earlier date.

But when you create a new lvmtab file by typing in vgscan -v the vg00 file is
now no longer contained within the /etc/lvmtab file.

I have already done a vgreduce -f /dev/vg00 to remove any unattached physical
volumes that might have been attached to the group.

I am stumped as to what is going on here.

OS 11iv2 on ia64

Thanks in advance -greg
