Hello,

I am rather new to Linux, but know enough to get most things done. However, I have a problem I don't know how to do.

I need to know how to mount a file system containing data. Rather a BCV SAN LUN. or Business Continuity Volume used for Disaster Recovery. Such as the primary R1 LUN is replicated to the secondary R2 LUN, this is done via SRDF/A - then a DR occurs and a sync-split is performed and a BCV LUN containing the time sync image of the R2 LUN is created to be presented to the DR server. The DR server OS is RedHat Linux on Power, equivelant RedHat Linux for IBM p-series platform.

I know how to create a file system from an empty SAN LUNs but the BCV I cannot seem to mount successfully or view what is on it after I mount it.
What I have done, which I don't think is correct.

fdisk -l
pvcreate /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
vgcreate EMCdata /dev/sdb
vgextend EMCdata /dev/sdc
lvcreate –l 100%VG –n lvOracle EMCdata
mke2fs -j /dev/EMCdata/lvOracle
mkdir /oracle
edit /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/md2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/md1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/EMCdata/lvOracle /oracle ext3 defaults 0 2
mount -all


when I do this, there is no data on the file system. there is data on it, or being replicated and the BCV is sync-split.

thanks so much in advance. I don't know what to do?
