Operating Systems Solaris How to recover wrongly deleted volume in VxVM? Post 302954364 by rbatte1 on Monday 7th of September 2015 08:31:26 AM

I'm not sure there is a way to 'recover' the volume. By volume, I'm assuming a logical volume that you build a file-system on or give to an application as raw space.

If you have the size, then the easiest way would be to create a fresh one of the right size and then recover the data. If you don't have the size, then create a huge one, restore the data then reduce the size to a suitable one with VxVM tools afterwards.

NAME
vgcfgbackup - backup volume group descriptor area SYNOPSIS
vgcfgbackup [-d|--debug] [-f|--file filename] [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...] DESCRIPTION
vgcfgbackup allows you to backup the metadata of your volume groups. If you don't name any volume groups on the command line, all of them will be backed up. In a default installation, each volume group gets backed up into a separate file bearing the name of the volume group in the directory /etc/lvm/backup. You can write the backup to an alternative file using -f. In this case if you are backing up more than one volume group the filename is treated as a template, and %s gets replaced by the volume group name. NB. This DOESN'T backup user/system data in logical volume(s)! Backup /etc/lvm regularly too. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. SEE ALSO
