Error on HACMP5.3 volume group on raw devices after exporting vg

Hi all,

We have a problem after exporting a exhanced concurrent capable VG accessed in concurrent mode, created on raw devices ( pSeries 590 AIX5.3 + HACMP5.3 +SAN4300) from node A to node B.
On node B the VG is correct activated by HACMP, but on node A we have 0516-306 error "Unable to find volume group vg01 in the Device Configuration Database".

Many thanks

Cristi

I trust that if you run lsvg on the failover node the VG is visible and if you run lsvg -o it is not.

Error on HACMP5.3 volume group on raw devices after exporting vg

Hello, johnf

No, in both cases, lsvg or lsvg -o VG is not visible and if we run lsvg -l vg01 we have 0516-306 error "Unable to find volume group vg01 in the Device Configuration Database"

OK my guess is you need to drop HACMP. Find the major number of the VG on the primary. Varyoff the VG on the primary side (make sure you do this or the next bit will not work!). Now try importvg -y <vgname>; you might have to play with this to get it working. It is my guess that the VG has never been declared to the failover side. Also I am supposing the PVs are part of external storage, if this is the case you might need to check the LUN id as well.

Good luck with this can of worms!
