Hi Senmak,

the major number of a VG is some kind of an identifier - veritas cluster eg is varying on its volumegroups using the majornumber.

Concurrent vg is a volumegroup imported, varied on and accessed on more than one node at the same time

Kind regards

The major number may also refer to the major device number of the special devices in /dev. Logical volumes in the same volume group get the same major number. E.g. in this snippet:

Code:
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10, 11 31 Mar 18:19 fwdump
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10,  8 31 Mar 16:21 hd1
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10,  9 31 Mar 16:21 hd10opt
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10, 10 31 Mar 16:21 hd11admin
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10,  5 31 Mar 16:21 hd2
brw-rw----    1 root     system       10,  7 31 Mar 16:21 hd3

Note they all have a major number of 10.

These are all lv's in the rootvg volume group.

In cluster environments you should have a look at keeping the Major Numbers for your VGs the same, when doing the importvg. Else you might get error messages or warnings in hacmp.out.
