I am a french computer technician, and i speak English just a little.
On Aix 5.3, I encounter a name conflict logical volume on two volume group.
The first volume lvnode01 is OK in rootvg and mounted. It is also consistent in the ODM
Another logical volume with the same name lvnode01 is present in another volume group (datavg), but in the closed state.
I want to delete the logical volume lvnode01 in the second volume group datavg without impacting the first logical volume lvnode01 in rootvg. The server is critical.
With the lqueryvg command I could read the lvid in the volume group datavg on one of physical volume (hdisk10).
it is the lvid 00c7beec00004c0000000104e69b04cf.7 for the logical volume lvnode01
I tried with the commands lchangelv and ldeletelv to delete or rename the second logical volume from its lvid but this does not work.
What is the solution to remove this second logical volume the same without impacting the availability of server?
Is that the synclvodm command could solve the problem?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hello,
After some research I think the command synclvodm could solve the problem of name conflict by renaming the logical volume automatically by default.
Have you ever used this command in this situation?

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Does anyone have any simple methods for moving a current logical volume from one volume group to another? I do not wish to move the data from one physical volume to another. Basically, I want to "relink" the logical volume to exist in a different volume group. Any ideas? (2 Replies)
